Tutorial: 360° Nighttime Scene with FLUX + FreeForm Pro + GEOlayers 2 in After Effects
This tutorial shows how to create a night time version of your 360° landscape animation, also adding in a FLUX sky. It’s a sequel to Tutorial: 360° Landscapes with FreeForm Pro + GEOLayers 2 + After Effects CC 2019. Follow that tutorial first to set up your 360° landscape, and then you can create the night time effect and sky in the same scene.
Hosted by Charles Yeager, we learn how to use the 3D fractal flames features of FLUX to generate and composite our night sky. FLUX supports Flat, 360 Mono and Stereo formats.
