Trapcode LUX
Hello,
I have a text layer and I want a light source behind it shining through it into the camera. I want to see the light rays in the dusty smoke… (like the text is blocking the light)
I am using AE CS3. I have tried Lux and I can get the light behind it but I can’t get the light rays to shime through all the holes of the text?
Any suggestions?

Are you sure its not Trapcode Shine that you want?

Lux will give you a 3D volumetric light, but if you place that behind your logo, it’s not going to calculate the rays in the empty areas the way a 3D program might. You may want to use a combination of LUX with either shine or CC rays. Or if its just the rays you’re after, you may not even need LUX at all. Just place a feathered solid behind your logo to represent the volumetric light and then use on your logo.
