Features

Lighting
Users can add and control an unlimited number and type of lights. Lighting arrangements can be matched to real world studio setups and saved, loaded or shared with others. Lights are interactively adjusted and previewed in a virtual sky 'dome'. (Advanced users can also directly edit FX and lighting files to specify exacting and complex arrangements.)

Simply Creating 3D Surfaces
With SFX-3D users can create 3-dimensional shapes from Photoshop selections with a wide range of profile forms to look like liquid or facetted glass for example, or interactively draw 3D shapes with a range of built in tools. Tiling patterns and textures can be added to 3D surfaces.

Materials
A range of material types can be applied to 3D shapes - woods, glass, metals, cloths, etc., plus users can create their own new and unique materials. Transparent materials are rendered with true volumetric depth, so tinted glass or mist, for example, appears more opaque where it is thickest.

3D Effects
SFX-3D also includes 3D effects that would normally be too complex to render traditionally such as netting, bubbles, fractal snowflakes, fur, rain, and more.

Lighting Effects
The suite also includes lighting effects that simulate real world atmospherics. Auras and caustics light rays take into account depths to surface and distance from edges.

2D Effects
There is also a set of 2D effects that includes a more powerful color correction and photometric bank and various geometric filters. Kaleidoscope, for example, can handle any number of mirrors and can even reflect the 3D geometry itself. So, for example, a user could create a honeycomb by drawing just a single hexagon.
