Maxon has announced updates to their Red Giant 2024 suite.

The update features two new tools in the Universe suite: Bokeh and Bokeh Transition. These tools are designed for fast rendering and create realistic bokeh effects, simulating camera focus and depth of field. They offer customizable options, including shapes and depth maps. Universe’s updated framework now provides a real-time experience, with future expansions planned for other products in the suite.

Magic Bullet Looks has undergone a reimagined integration for color management, simplifying the user experience. Additionally, it now offers enhanced support for Unreal Engine, allowing users to leverage the latest version of the engine with Magic Bullet Looks.

VFX Real Lens Flares introduces a new obscuration feature and a Light Ball core projection option. These additions allow for dynamic light interactions in scenes, enhancing the realism of lens flares as they interact with complex shapes and light sources.

The VFX Spot Clone Tracker has been updated with a Tracker Only mode, streamlining the tool for After Effects users. This feature focuses on tracking-related parameters, aiding in efficient handling of multiple tracks on a single clip. The update also includes a new Shape Roundness slider, providing more versatility in cloning shapes.

Finally, Trapcode now supports optimized multi-frame rendering and introduces a new cloud service, Maxon Cloud Capsule. This service provides assets through the cloud to Trapcode asset browsers, expanding the range of available sprites, models, curves, and gradients.
