Do you use After Effects? Do you spend a lot of time designing and animating lens flares? Then Optical Flares might just be the plug-in for you. We’ve just added it to our Techstore, and we think it is pretty cool.

It’s a clever plug-in that wraps up loads of tools to build, edit and customise lens flares. It will help those of you who want to create realistic effects from scratch. There are loads of features in this plug-in, including dynamic triggering, luminance tracking, 3D occlusion, and over 25 built-in textures to chose from.
