v1.5.x Plugin Everything Deep Glow

Generates a beautiful, physically accurate glow. You'll never want to touch After Effect's default glow again.

Plugin Everything Deep Glow gives you the best-looking glow right out of the box, even whilst working in a non-linear color space, by simulating inverse-square falloff. It features intuitive compositing controls to assist in refining your glow results. Deep Glow is also GPU accelerated for speed and features handy downsampling and quality controls which can also be leveraged to achieve unique results (grainy or stylized glows).

Plugin Everything Deep Glow Core Features:

• Physically accurate inverse square-based falloff
• GPU acceleration
• 8, 16, and 32bpc compatible
• HDR thresholding
• Thresholding Smoothness (reduces temporal flicker)
• Gamma correction (linear results even when working in non-linear colorspace)
• Compositing controls
• Glow aspect ratio
• Glow spread
• Chromatic Aberration
• Downsample quality controls
• Blur quality controls
• View controls: glow source or final render
• Unmult (To explain, useful for text)

Please note: GPU is required for rendering. Deep Glow runs most operations on the GPU and as such, it is not compatible with CPU only render nodes

You won’t want to touch the default glow again.

Utilize powerful quality and downsampling controls which enable both faster rendering but also unique stylistic results.

In addition, it features variable aspect ratio.

Inbuilt chromatic aberration to add color.

Likewise, It’s perfect for HUDs, infographics, text, and telemetry.

Unleash your GPU for faster results. Also compatible with integrated hardware (iMacs, laptops, etc).

Great for compositing CG elements. Simulate bloom and illuminate objects.

In-built gamma correction means your gamma is perfect regardless of the colorspace you’re working in.

Works in After Effects 2020+.

Pairs beautifully with other optical effects such as bokeh.
