Eye Candy for After Effects is a set of 20 time-saving special effects that will enhance any film, video, animation or multimedia project. Sophisticated texture, production and distortion effects have never been easier. Eye Candy for after Effects creates fire, smoke, carves, bevels, and more. Create dazzling effects in a fraction of the time they used to require.
Eye Candy for After Effects automatically adapts to irregular floating objects, modifies layer opacity information, and allows users to draw outside layer boundaries without precomposing. Users can also apply effects based on transparency information from other layers.
Eye Candy for After Effects improves on the formerly-stationary filters, adding new parameters and giving users exact control of the effects’ new time- and direction-based aspects. For example, bevels can mutate and snake around footage with a few mouse clicks. With new phase controls, users can control undulation. With 20 incomparable special effects, Eye Candy makes spectacular results quick and easy in any After Effects project.

Hot on the heels of Adobe’s release of After Effects CS3, MAXON makes its free file exchange plugin available for seamless connectivity to After Effects CS3, for both Windows and Macintosh systems.
Thousands of production studios worldwide count on the proven, seamless file exchange between CINEMA 4D and After Effects when combining 2D and 3D elements in post-production. The After Effects plugin not only merges individually rendered passes made in CINEMA 4D, such as shadows, reflections and highlights, but also imports camera and light information, as well as object position data for easily incorporating 3D into a 2D workflow.
CINEMA 4D’s connectivity to After Effect’s CS3 generation once again illustrates the close and successful cooperation MAXON Computer and Adobe Systems share in the field of motion graphics.
