    Luminous Element

    Posted by David Cohen on February 5, 2006 at 3:49 am

    Hey all,

    One thing that has been eluding me is the creation of a luminous/light ball. Not just a glowing orb, but a ball with a center that actually emits light. I worked on a rip for a beauty product and the other designer created a ball that had ligh inside.
    I use shine, and am kind of over that, but this is diferent, I need something that is luminus and casts light from within the ball. Is there a plug-in like Knoll? Do I need a plug-in?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers
    -Dave-

    what about trapcodes Lux. It emits light from a 3d light.

    You can use a white round feathered mask with the transfer mode set to add for a nice effect.
