You are invited to the public beta of Trapcode Mir 2

March 27, 2014 – Today,Red Giant announced a Public Beta of the popular motion graphics tool, Trapcode Mir. Current users of Trapcode Mir 1.0 can download the latest beta for Mir 2 from the Trapcode website.

Trapcode Suite is the industry-standard tool for motion graphics in After Effects. One of the tools in its roster, Trapcode Mir creates 3D surfaces for use in motion graphics and visual effects. It is a GPU-accelerated effect, allowing After Effects users to shape, animate and light 3D surfaces in real-time.

Trapcode Founder Peder Norrby has already implemented some new features in the Mir 2 beta, including:

• Optimized Rendering – up to three-times faster
• Z Range controls (found in Fractal group); for example, to create plateau in landscape or to move fractal to “up” only so that amp map only goes “up”
• Second Pass Wireframe – it is drawn with proper obscuration and fog
• Quads, which is found under Geometry>Tessellation, and uses quads instead of triangles
• Memory Management – new pop-up where VRAM can be manually set or memory check turned off completely. It’s useful with high-end cards with >2GB VRAM since Mir’s auto-detection only works with <2GB.

While he may not be able to implement all of the requests coming in, some of the items on Peder’s Mir 2 to-do list potentially include:

• Reflection maps
• Specular maps
• Depth-of-field camera effects
• Motion blur
• Loop options for fractal to create seamless animated loops
• And much more

Join the beta to help determine which features will be implemented!

You can see the full list and download the beta on the Trapcode site:http://www.trapcode.com/mir-beta-download/.

Trapcode Mir is available on its own or as part of the Trapcode Suite. Learn more at:http://www.redgiant.com/products/all/trapcode-suite/.
