Description
Lux simulates the phenomena of light reflection in a sparse medium, also known as "visible light". This can be observed when lights are present in a slightly foggy environment, like on stage during a concert or outdoors on a misty night.
Lux uses Adobe After Effect's built-in lights to create visible light that matches how layers are lit. Lux will read properties such as position, color and cone angle from all point lights and spotlights and render visual representations of them. For even more integration, the spotlight cones can be set to reach a specified 3D layer in the composition.

Issues with Mac Fixed
- New Trapcode Betas solve issue with Mac OSX version of GridIron Nucleo
When using the Trapcode suite of plug-ins together with GridIron Nucleo on Mac OSX, some users have reported that the license magically dissapears in renders, so that the "demo-X" (the red cross that indicates the plug-in is not licensed) appears, most of the times on every other frame (dual CPU) or every fourth frame (Quad CPU). No such problems have been reported with the Windows versions.
Here are public betas of new versions of the Trapcode suite plugs that should fix the above mentioned problem (nothing else has changed): Trapcode / Nucleo Betas for Mac OSX

Render Farm registration tool
In order to use Trapcode Shine/Trapcode 3D Stroke/Trapcode Starglow/Trapcode Lux/Trapcode Particular on the machines in a render farm the plug-ins need to be registered. Since the normal user interface does not exist on render engine installs, here is a stand alone application that will allow registration of the plug-ins. Install the plug-in the normal way on the machines in the render farm, then run this program on each machine and enter your name and key. Do not forget to press "Register".
