Luxand Wave FX is a free and easy way to make video clips that look like they’ve been shot underwater. The new plugin makes adding realistic wave effects in Adobe After Effects a matter of just a few mouse clicks. With seven configurable options, you can adjust how the waves look and control physical properties of the liquid.
Adding waves to your video could not be made simpler. Just launch Adobe After Effects, load your video, and process it with Wave FX to create a clip that looks to be shot underwater. Change one or more configuration settings, and you’ll get videos that appear to be shot with a camera immersed in oil, gasoline, spirits, or other liquids of your choice.
There are hundreds of liquids you can choose from with Surface Tension, Inertia, Viscosity, and Transparency settings. Higher viscosity, inertia, and surface tension are typical for denser liquids such as natural oil. Lower these parameters and get pure or salty water. Lower them further, and you’ll see waves of gasoline, spirits, or even lighter artificial liquids.
There are seven configuration settings available, including Path, Frequency, and Disturbance that control the position, speed, intensity, and visibility of the waves, and Surface Tension, Inertia, Viscosity, and Transparency that define the exact physical properties of the liquid.
