3D Models

For the first time ever, quickly and easily load 3D OBJ models into your After Effects composition. Trapcode Mir makes it simple to texture, light, repeat and deform, your models as part of your scene.

Trapcode Mir - 3D Objects

Surface Presets

Choose from Mir’s 16 surface presets, designed to give you a head start in setting up the materials, shaders and textures for different surface styles. Every preset is fully-customizable.

Trapcode Mir - Bring 3D Models into After Effects

3D MODELS (NEW)

Bring your motion graphics into a new dimension by using 3D models as Mir objects. Choose from Mir’s library of over 60 OBJs, or easily load your own models using the new OBJ Loading Panel. 3D Models can be deformed and repeated like any other Mir surface.

Trapcode Mir - Repeat And Distort 3D Objects and Mesh Planes in After Effects

REPEAT & DISTORT

Create one surface or import one 3D Object. Then use the repeater controls to duplicate and distort the Mir object for complex effects.

SURFACE PRESETS (NEW)

Mir’s new surface presets make it fast and easy to set up the materials, shaders and textures for different surface styles. Every preset is fully-customizable. Includes setups for Smooth Surface, Faceted Surface, Wireframe, Chrome, Cartoon and much more.

Trapcode Mir - Camera Lights

3D CAMERA & LIGHTS

Trapcode Mir uses After Effects’ 3D Camera and Lights so you can fully integrate your Mir surfaces with your motion graphics and VFX shots. Art by Jean-Marie Marbach (jm-marbach.net)

Trapcode Mir - Environment Maps

Materials And Textures

Create photoreal motion graphics with textures and included reflection/environment maps. Mir includes 8 HDRI maps for use in your work.

Trapcode Mir - Depth Of Field

Depth of Field

Create camera-realistic blurs for your Mir surfaces, based on their distance from the After Effects 3D camera. The new Depth of Field effect makes it easy to integrate Mir into your live action shots and motion graphics.

Trapcode Mir - Surfaces, Polygons, and Vertices

Surfaces, Polygons, & Vertices

Mir can display surfaces with shading, as vector-style polygons or as vertex points. New in Mir, you can choose between triangles or quads.

Trapcode Mir - Spiral

Spiral

Mir adds the ability to spiralize the mesh, deforming the surface with spiral rotation.

play buttonTrapcode Mir - Seamless Loop

Seamless Loop

Trapcode Mir now includes the ability to create seamless, looping fractal-based backgrounds.

Trapcode Mir - Quads and Triangles

Quads And Triangles

Choose between quad or triangle-based polygons for your surfaces.

Trapcode Mir - Wireframe

Second-Pass Wireframe

Add a second-pass wireframe on top of your Mir surface. Great for creating grid overlays on terrains and more.

Trapcode Mir - Texture Filtering

Texture Filtering

Mir offers three modes for texture sampling. Choose “Nearest” for an unfiltered rendering of the texture. Choose “Linear” to smooth gradients and prevent anti-aliasing. Or choose “Solid Face” to make each polygon get a single color - great for use on low-poly retro looks.

play buttonTrapcode Mir - Z-Range

Z-Range

Take control of the displacement by setting minimums and maximums. Great for creating plateaus and craters on your surfaces.

Trapcode Mir - Fractal Types

Fractals

Choose from regular, Multi, SmoothRidge, Multi SmoothRidge for varying displacements of the mesh.

Trapcode Mir - GPU Accelerated

GPU-Accelerated

Mir runs on OpenGL, giving you incredibly fast feedback and rendering. Mir delivers up to 3x speed boost compared to version 1.

play buttonTrapcode Mir - OBJ Sequence

OBJ Sequences - Red Giant Complete Only (NEW)

Bring animated OBJ sequences into After Effects for use in your motion graphics. 3D Models react to 3D lights and cameras, and can be deformed and repeated like any other Mir surface. Visit our Red Giant Complete page to learn more.

play buttonTrapcode Form - C4D Import

Cinema 4D File Import (NEW)

Thanks to Cineware, use .c4d file 3D geometry as Mir 3D objects. Supported Geometry properties include: animation, normals, texture coordinates and transformations (rotation, position/translation and scaling). Visit our Red Giant Complete page to learn more.
