WOW.

Hey Andrew, thanks – I buy all your stuff, it rocks. This latest one is a great value since you also include tuts/templates to learn from. THANKS for all you do for the motion gfx community… world-class stuff. More more more.

So, how are you doing these 3D title animation? In a 3D app? Using a plug-in? Some AE trick?
With a 3d program.
3d max
cinema 4d

Congratulations Video Co-Pilot for making the last issue of Layers Magazine! There is a favorable review of Optical Flares near the back of the mag in the review section. …but you already knew that I’m sure.
Hey, I think I just spotted some optical flares at he end of this game trailer! *Need For Speed SHIFT 2* http://www.gametrailers.com/video/track-disaster-shift-2/709252

Thanks Andrew! It’s amazing!
Just watched “Skyline”. A lens flares orgy!!! And a funny classic sci-fi movie.
Ciao
Quick question, was the 3d text made in a 3rd party 3d program? Or with an AE Plugin? I’m looking for a AE plugin to create 3d text but have no idea where to start looking.
Andrew… I don’t have Online banking facilities.. whats the best way for me to buy?? Optical flares, one of my fren in foreigh gifted me!!
Very cool!

Andrew,
Great update to a fantastic product. We’ve been using it everyday since you released it and it certainly ads dimension to our spots.
I did notice that in the included tutorials for Pro Presets 2 you’re applying Optical Flares to grey solids…..I typically use a black solid.
Any special thought process behind your use of grey?
Cheers,
Albert
I should clairify that I noticed your use of grey solids in the included templates, not tutorials.
Very nice Andrew ! so what’s the music in the trailer ? i love it ! THX
just bought it. now have all the VC products. This is great i like the tutorials. very cool.
Good job guys. Oh, loving Glamour aswell.
Thanks guys
just watched the compositing tutorial, brilliant tips you share on how to combine elements of different flares, to blur/brighten/combine elements and more… thanks for the pro tips
Awesome, bought it this weekend. This will become handy for my band’s promotional videos!
Andrew,
Any tips to how Alex made his text bend & deform in his promo video? I’ve been trying to figure it out in C4D
I wonder … What program was used for creating 3D text in the Pro Presets 2 Promo? Please, someone answer me. Greetings:)
I think 3ds max was used .
looks great! I’ll make sure I buy it soon…
Cool ! realeased the day of my birthday
Hi Andrew i was your best fan from turkmenistan. Please say something about me in your new tutorial, thanks.
yes andrew your tutorial it good , we need for this do crate the effect and texture and more i we need some where to here in south africa joburg please give adress where i can get your dvds because i want to buy it
Hello Everyone,
First of all, Great Package, just the font alone was worth the price, thank you much. The Blinding preset is coming in very handy.
I wanted to alert you about Text layers and obscuration of layer objects using the optical flares and it simply was not working…. Finally figured it out, I do not know the reason why, but a Text layer does not behave the same as a solid in this case. I tried generating outlines, or shapes from the text, but these did not work either. So finally I placed my text in a precomposed layer and used the text comp as my obscuration layer… that was the work around.
PeacE
J.J. Abrams really liked the OPITCAL FLARES…i guess he is using way too much…check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuLt34BjbX8&feature=related
but as a download here
Hey, I don’t know if any of you guys noticed it but, was optical flares used in that “its friday music video”?

WOW! I just bought the Pro Flares bundle, it is the best!Thanks for everything you do, especially the free tutorials!
Hi! I’m just dying to know the name of the music that I heard in the Typograph promo video. At the end of the video.
It’s just sooooo cooool! Anybody knows what it is? Andrew HELP ME!!!!
And of course…..all respect is yours!! You are the man!
Thanks when deciding to take your present beneficial time so as to give rise to people
