Polygon Studio releases “Light Wrap”

My buddy Maltaannon from Polygon Studio has just released a brand new custom effect for Adobe After Effects for creating beautiful and convincing light wrap effects. Light wrap is the effect where colour from the background image is mixed in with the edges of the foreground image, creating a realistic composite. This custom effect has some extra special features including edge blur and a color matcher which you can use to tint your foreground image with color sampled from the background.

I’ve had to create this kind of effect in the past manually and also used Key Correct Pro which is great, but if you don’t need everything KCP has to offer or it’s beyond your budget, then CE LightWrap is an excellent and great value solution for an important step in convincing compositing.

You’ll find more information including a video tutorial in which Maltaannon shows how to create a light wrap effect from scratch here. CustomEffects are Adobe After Effects Animation Presets with all the controllers packed into a single group so it looks like a regular plug-in. For more on CustomEffects click here.
