Quick Overview

Generates a beautiful, physically accurate glow. You'll never want to touch After Effect's default glow again.

 

 

Deep Glow gives you the best looking glow right out of the box, even whilst working in a non-linear color space. It features intuitive compositing controls to assist in refining your glow results. Deep Glow is also GPU accelerated for speed and features handy downsampling and quality controls which can also be leveraged to achieve unique results (grainy or stylised glows).

 

Core Features:

  • Physically accurate inverse square based falloff
  • GPU acceleration
  • 8, 16 and 32bpc compatible
  • HDR thresholding
  • Thresholding Smoothness (reduces temporal flicker)
  • Gamma correction (linear results even when working in non-linear colorspace)
  • Compositing controls
  • Input masking (alpha and luma) for complete control over glow source
  • Glow aspect ratio
  • Glow spread
  • Chromatic Aberration
  • Downsample quality controls
  • Blur quality controls
  • View controls: glow source or final render
  • Unmult (useful for text)  
  • Tint options and blending modes to add colour to your glow
  • Dithering controls to reduce colour-banding artifacts

 

Requirements

GPU is required for rendering. Deep Glow runs most operations on the GPU and as such, it is not compatible with CPU only render nodes. Please note that mac's with Nvidia cards may not be supported. Please download the free trial to check compatibility.

 

You won't want to touch the default glow again.


Utilise powerful quality and downsampling controls which enable both faster rendering but also unique stylistic results.

Unleash your GPU for faster results. Also compatible with integrated hardware (iMacs, laptops, etc).

Features variable aspect ratio

Inbuilt chromatic aberration to add color

Perfect for HUDs, infographics, text and telemetry.

Great for compositing CG elements. Simulate bloom and illuminate objects.

In-built gamma correction means your gamma is perfect regardless of the colorspace you're working in.

Pairs beautifully with other optical effects such as bokeh.
Modulation also pairs wonderfully with Deep Glow.
