What is FLUX?
FLUX brings Fractal Flames into After Effects. It’s 3D Volumetric, so you can move your camera around and through the FLUX “Volume”. Create sci-fi skies, Nebulas, Portals, and much more. Easily customisable, with many presets. Supports Flat, 360 Mono and Stereo. Download a free demo: www.mettle.com/free-demo
