Quick Overview

The Stereo 3D Toolkit allows you to create mind blowing stereoscopic compositions inside of After Effects. It uses true left and right channels (instead of collapse transformations) so it is compatible with all 3d effects and plug-ins that use composition cameras.

More than a Camera:

The Stereo 3D Toolkit is more than a 3D camera. It is a set of tools that enable you to create complex stereoscopic compositions inside of after effects.

Features:

  • Compatible with CS6 ray tracing
  • Compatible with Video Copilot Element 3D
  • Total hierarchy update system
  • Improved Cinema 4D integration
  • Supports multiple S3D hierarchies in a single project
  • Includes S3D camera rig for Cinema 4D 11.5 & 12
 

True Left and Right Channels:

The Stereo 3D Toolkit uses true left and right channels instead of collapse transformations. Because of this, it is compatible with all 3D effects and plug-ins that utilize composition cameras. Effects like Particular, Form and Plexus come through with true stereo 3D depth.

Ease of use:

The Stereo 3D Toolkit is designed to make managing complex hierarchies simple. The tools enable you to work on the left channel and automatically update the right channel. Nested pre-comps are given embedded cameras that are locked to the master system, so all of the pieces in your hierarchy stay in perfect sync no matter how complex it gets.

Compatibility:

The Stereo 3D Toolkit is compatible with After Effects CS4, CS5, and CS5.5.

Stereo 3D Toolkit vs CS5.5 built in 3d camera:

Although After Effects CS5.5 comes bundled with a stereoscopic camera, it uses collapse transformations to create the left and right channels. For plug-ins that utilize composition cameras separate left and right channels are required to see the true stereoscopic depth.
