Integrates with Aurora Sky

Enhance scenes with dynamic Aurora Sky with seamless integration with Aurora Water.

Aurora Water allows you to create skies with a sun, moon and clouds both by using its own controls and by importing Aurora Sky output files. The imported skies can be animated with Aurora Water’s standard controls.

Use the 3D Camera Tools

Aurora Water works in 3D space, both its own and After Effect’s. The built-in camera can fly throughout the vast world within the plug-in, using all the standard axis controls.
Aurora Water is built to utilize AE’s 3D camera (5.0 and later). As you move or turn the After Effects camera, Aurora will update its environment as a seamless part of the scene. This integration makes it simple to composite other 3D objects over the water and skyscape created with the plug-in.
