FLUIDZ
is a new set of four plug-ins that use the power of 2d fluid dynamics
to produce beautiful, flowing, fluid effects and transitions. The
set comprises several plug-ins.

Fire
The Fire plug-in creates fluid flow simulations of a range of flames
types from a single flame up to a raging fire. A number of presets
are supplied together with control over flame type, colour, intensity,
smoke, winds and barriers.
ImageFlow
ImageFlow is a general fluids ‘engine’, which can be
used to dissolve images into fluids, create fluid mixing effects
and simulate fluids flowing through channels or around obstructions.
A number of presets are supplied for fluids of different densities
and characteristics.
The fluid effects created are extremely smooth and organic exactly
because they are true fluid simulations, with each sequence evolving
from a set of initial conditions under the influence of defined
external forces.
ClipFlow
The ClipFlow plug-in is similar to ImageFlow but flows input clips
rather than individual frames. The original clip is seen to continue
playing as the clip begins to flow.
TransFlow
TransFlow can be used to great effect to create a range of unique
fluid transitions and wipes in which the outgoing clip flows away
to reveal the incoming clip or transitions from one clip to the
other through a fluid mix. The initial settings can be modified
to create a wide range of different effects.
Three different types of wipe/transition can be created:
-
A fluid “reveal” in which a fluid wavefront passes
across the screen replacing the outgoing clip with the incoming
clip. In this case neither clip undergoes fluid deformation.
- A
fluid “wipe” in which the outgoing clip flows off
the screen to reveal the incoming clip beneath. In this case the
outgoing image is deformed into a fluid but the underlying incoming
clip is not.
- A
fluid “mix” in which the outgoing clip is seen to
dissolve into a fluid mix and then resolve back out to the incoming
clip.
