Render Elements

[Ed]

It's good to see users experimenting with ways to add flare to their renders.

I plan to get this flare plug-in for After Effects:

Even though After Effects is for motion graphics and visual effects, a lot of people use it for post work on still renders as well.

Here's a plugin for Photoshop and After Effects which does much the same thing.

Both of those plugins look fantastic!
Please post any KeyShot post work creations you have made.

Very cool stuff.

Flare effects and such would be a natural progression of the work we've done with the "bloom" effect in 2.1, so hopefully we can get that in there soon

I'll hope that you will be able to create and add this unusual effect to the Keyshot

Here's another one. I bumped up the render settings a little on this one, for a more crisp turnout and a few tweaks. No turntable, just a couple of shots. The first one is straight outta KS and the other has a hint of sparkle and glow - just enough without getting carried away with it.

I created 2 versions slightly different from one another using Jeff's diamond. The "no_flare" is straight from KS with only the logo. The other I added a teaspoon of flare.

Flashes on you scene whith teapot and diamond scene look pretty cool!!
But still I recommend to make them more significant

Can you write in detail how you set up the flares?

Awesome! Soon as in 2.2?

Thanks, John!
I'm still figuring out a way to add the bright flashes like in some of the real diamond videos. I think I'm close... Yes, I will try and get something together this week or so, on how to create the flares.

Not 2.2 soon 

2.2 is quite a nice version though. We're at Solidworks World showing it now and the feedback is very positive
