Main Features
Image Lounge contains a set of over 20 stylistic filters to make dynamic images or motion text. Replicate natural elements like fire, smoke, and water. Add realistic touches using shadows, displacement, color mapping, and accurate camera blurs based on lens artifacts to replicate out-of-focus images shot with a 35mm-film camera.
-
Over 20 filters for making dynamic images or motion text.
-
Dozens of parameters for controlling particle size, color, velocity, and direction.
-
Numerous text effects for simulating an animated typewriter text and credit rolls.
Uses
-
Simulate the most realistic fire and cloud formations.
-
Add grunge to text, simulate mirage effects, or outline moving images.
-
Accurately project an object’s shadow onto a surface.
-
Generate rolling credits from a text file.
Image lounge includes some really beautiful filters for creating fractal noise, including Fractal Clouds, which handily replaces Adobe's "Clouds" filter by providing much more control over virtually every aspect of could generation. Fractal Fire and Fractal Brimstone are a couple of the most realistic fire simulations you'll find anywhere, while Fractal Tunnel generates a tunnel covered in fractal noise that the camera can fly through.
The selection of distortion filters in Image Lounge can really spruce up your work. Add Grunge to text, simulate a wavy Mirage distortion, add Turbulent Distortion to an image or its edges. Border Patrol traces the outline of a moving image, which is well-used with Hall of Time for creating a "Time Echo" effect. Similarly, Video Feedback recreates the pattern of video looping through itself.
In the realm of more realistic visual effects, Image Lounge provides a very handy Real Shadows filter for accurately projecting a shadow's object onto a surface. TrueCamera Blur mimics the actual defocusing of a camera lens, complete with blooming and TrueCamera Rack Focus simulates a depth-of-field focus using a depth map
Image Lounge even includes several filters that quickly complete common tasks, saving you the trouble of creating excessive keyframes. The Typewriter filter automatically types in text one letter at a time and can even type in random order, while the Text Roll filter generates rolling credits from a text file. Image Lounge's Framer creates a parameratized rectangle in a couple of clicks.
Includes the following filters
Fractal Clouds Make puffy, cumulus, nimbus, or glassy stratosphere clouds. Also, create oceans, water falls, rivers, and other water surfaces, complete with ripples and reflections.
Fractal Fire Create a nearly endless variety of fire effects, including solar flares, napalm explosions, smoky oil fires, or an inferno.
Fractal Tunnel Incorporate a tunneling warp engine to the fractal noise, to create complex turbulent tunnel effects perfect for making VR environments, whirlpools, and other tunnel environments.
Mirage Simulate mirages, heat waves, jet washes, and other thermal-currents that may cause istortion patterns within your effect Apply as a central design theme in an animation or as a realistic touch to an element.
Real Shadows Add realistic shadows to your elements, complete with perspective falloff and gradiated blur, as if your shadow was being cast on a 3D surface. It can also be to drop shadows for your photo-realistic composites and text animations.
Text Scoll Create traditional scrolling titles just like those found at the end of TV programs or feature films. Just make a text file your credit list, and Text Scroll will give you full animation control over justification, margins, leading, font, scroll rate, faded edges at the top and bottom of the screen, and a host of drop shadow parameters.
Text Typewriter Animate tracking, leading, size, and width with multiple lines of text. Then create signature "type-on" effects as though your text was being typed on a computer monitor or old-fashioned CRT display. Distress your type edges with a grunge-slider, or explode the type with a dot scatter parameter.
TrueCamera Blur TrueCamera Blur replicates the blurred look from out-of-focus images shot with real 35mm-film camera. Unlike normal blurs that give images a fake "digital look" that plagues many effect shots, TrueCamera Blur creates realistic lens artifacts, the physical path that light takes through real lens. TrueCamera Blur means the difference between a fake-looking shot and picture-perfect digital reality
Turbulent Edges Create underwater type, ghosts, transitions, and jagged edges.
Ultra Displacer Simulate water, heated air, steam, and interference and distortion effects to make your images look like they are being seen through a distortion field. Use one of the Fractal particle effects to control the distortions to achieve startling image effects.
Video Feedback Video Feedback creates the blow out distortion pattern familiar to anyone who has ever pointed a video camera directly at a television and gotten the surprise of their life.
