| Sun, Moon,
and Stars
Add a sun, moon and stars to any background. Add multiple suns and
moons of any color, changing the size of the sun and the size of
the halo. The moon can be defined by phase and shows the surface
of the moon. Define size, number, and color of star clusters.


Clouds – Cirrus, Stratus, Nimbus
Add any type of cloud from a white, puffy Nimbus cloud to a high-altitude,
stormy Stratus. Add multiple layers of each type of cloud for amazing
effects. Cloud color as well as thickness and light properties are
all modifiable. Puffy clouds can be shaped.
  
New Interface Zoom and Preview
Zoom in on any part of the picture from within the plug-in. The preview
now shows a production rendering without having to leave the plug-in.
Clouds and other features have macros that make it easy to create
common types of clouds. Sun positioning and other key components
feature an easy-to-use graphic interface.

Water, With Waves Reflection
and Underwater
Add water to any scene. Water automatically reflects layers. Change
the size and direction of the waves. Change the water’s color
and depth. Now with Aurora 2 you can create underwater scenes with
lighting.
  
Light Beams
Add, manipulate and color light beams in three dimensions. Lights
can be grouped and colored. Take full control of the light intensity,
its source, and its destination. Special Digital Rendering allows
interpolation of light beams through layers – creates great
“light through leaves”
