Red Giant Software, publisher of a
line of professional digital video tools, including Magic Bullet, Knoll
Light Factory, and all Trapcode products, today released Trapcode
Horizon. This new Adobe After Effects plug-in is a unique mapping tool
that ties the After Effects camera to a 3D world. After Effects users
can use Trapcode Horizon to create photorealistic backgrounds and
QuickTime VR-like experiences.
Red Giant Software also made available Composite Wizard 1.4 and Image
Lounge 1.4. These new versions add support for Adobe Creative Suite 3
and Mac Intel. Each product updater is available for $49 USD. To learn

Gradient and Image Map Modes
Choose from gradient or image map modes in the plug-in, each offering a
unique way to provide interesting backgrounds. Gradient mode offers both
point and line generation. Point mode generates smoothly blended color
regions from up to 8 points on the virtual sphere, while line mode
creates converging lines of colors that are perfect for generating a sky
gradient.
3D Camera Integration
Horizon ties automatically into the After Effects 3D camera, so that the
background image is always correctly drawn from the active camera's
field of view. The automatic camera motion means that other 3D effects
like Trapcode Particular and Form will move correctly with background
and provide the viewer with a much-needed orientation in 3D space.
Pricing and Availability
- Trapcode Horizon is available for $99 USD.
- Updaters for Composite Wizard 1.4 and Image Lounge 1.4 are available
for $49 USD each.

Image Lounge is NOT compatible with Mac Intel or Leopard. I have been waiting FOREVER for the update to Mac Intel and highly disappointed that this update DID NOT address that main issue.
