Solaris
Solaris allows you to create sizzling 3D sun animations in Adobe After Effects. Solaris gives you the all the control of a custom animation, but with the realism of authentic footage. It's perfect for creating scientific animations for documentaries, as well as stunning cinematic shots for sci-fi projects.
Solaris uses NASA footage of solar flares, prominences, coronal mass ejections, and the sun's surface, to create a realistic sun that you can customize with easy controls. The sun is three-dimensional, allowing you to animate your camera and incorporate other 3D elements into your scene. Included are 12 finished sun animations ("presets") that are ready to render. Solaris also includes a variety of bonus effects such as lens flares, heat haze, sound effects, star backgrounds, and several heat-themed title effects. All of the effects are easy to customize, and the in-depth tutorial takes you through the steps to easily build a custom sun from scratch. No matter your experience level, Solaris will let your ideas shine!
