Trapcode Horizon Description

Create ultra-realistic environments and wrap sphere maps, panoramas or video around the After Effects world Give your compositions what they've been missing with this unique mapping tool. The Trapcode Horizon plug-in is a camera-aware image mapping tool that ties your After Effects camera to a 3D world.By applying images or gradients to the inside of a giant sphere, Horizon creates an infinite background. No matter where your camera is directed, the simple controls make photorealistic backgrounds or sky gradients a snap.Virtual reality backgroundsTrapcode Horizon is the only plug-in that creates QuickTime VR-like experiences inside After Effects. If you have experienced virtual walkthroughs on the Web for parks, monuments, real estate, and more, you can now recreate these animations right inside After Effects with the camera’s field of view and full control over 3D motion.If you have longed to create a more scripted VR experience, Horizon is the perfect tool.Gradient and image map modesChoose from gradient or image map modes in the plug-in, each offering a unique way to provide interesting backgrounds. Gradient mode offers both point and line generation. Point mode generates smoothly blended color regions from up to 8 points on the virtual sphere, while line mode creates converging lines of colors that are perfect for generating a sky gradient.3D Camera IntegrationHorizon ties automatically into the After Effects 3D camera, so that the background image is always correctly drawn from the active camera’s field of view. The automatic camera motion means that other 3D effects like Trapcode Particular and Form will move correctly with background and provide the viewer with a much-needed orientation in 3D space. Here are some key features of "Trapcode Horizon": Floating Point Support: · Offers support for Floating point mapping of .exr image maps in After Effects CS3 Equirectilinear Image Mapping: · Familiar to 3D artists, “equirectilinear” images are maps that provide full 360-degree coverage of a sphere. Horizon will map these images seamlessly onto the background. Gradients: · Built-in gradient modes provide up to 8 colors for generating colors on the virtual sphere. Coverage Controls: · With controls for horizontal and vertical coverage of the sphere, you can determine how much of the virtual sphere to map—especially useful for using non-panoramic images or video. Controlled Zoom: · Mapping in Horizon depends on the Field of View in After Effects, so you can create a zoom effect by animating the field of view of the After Effects camera. Requirements: · 1 GB of RAM · 30 MB of Hard Drive space · Adobe After Effects CS3, 7
