Neuron Bundle 7 features DigiEffects Delirium plug-ins. Delirium is an amazing set of plug-ins that includes over 40 creative tools that will make your work stand out! With Delirium you can create natural phenomena like snow storms with naturally falling flakes onto any image or generate stunningly realistic fire and smoke. Delirium contains some of the most thrilling purely creative tools ever made! With Delirium you can create beautiful graphic elements, generate rich lens flares and apply sophisticated gradients. Naturally, each plug-in also has an enormous selection of presets!
Neuron Bundle 8 includes Media100 Final Effects Complete plug-ins. Media 100 Final Effects Complete delivers a comprehensive collection of effects plug-ins for leading digital video solutions. Ranging from graceful blurs and edges to radical warps and particle generators, Final Effects Complete dramatically augments your creative arsenal without forcing you to learn an entirely new application. One of the first plug-in packages
released for Adobe After Effects, Final Effects Complete is still one of the best. The heart of Final Effects Complete is its ability to generate full-featured two-dimensional and three-dimensional particle animations. These particle filters enable you to produce rain, snow, fire, smoke, ball action, explosions, distortions, jet trails, hair, liquid mercury distortions, spotlights, color transitions and other video effects that produce outside-of-the-box results. Final Effects Complete also delivers a complete range of 3D, lighting, and transition effects making it the most complete plug-in package available.
Neuron Bundle 9 Provides a Panopticum FX collection of special image effects including Engraver, Figure, Fire, Grid, Lens Pro III, Universal Lens III, Camera Noise, Compare Mask, Echo, Emboss, Null Strobe, Photo, Region, Resizer, Speckle, Strip and Zombie Frame.
"The addition of these 3 new Neuron Bundles brings the entire Synapse plug-in collection up to nearly 600 plug-ins and effects," comments D.R. Worthington, Director of Marketing and Product Development at VDS. "Now, with the release of Quantel's V2.0 which allows Synapse plug-ins to run in context, no generationQ system should be without them."
All new Quantel generationQ products will be shipping with trial versions of Synapse and Neurons bundles already installed. As Synapse and Neurons are compatible with the entire generationQ product range, they are very attractive additions to any Quantel customer interested in expanding their system's capabilities. Note* New Neurons bundles 7-9 are only available on Quantel's V2.0 and higher.
