Superluminal Stardust for Adobe After Effects v1.3.0

Stardust is a Modular 3D particle system for After Effects. It has an easy to use node based user interface and ships with a host of presets to create stunning effects.

Main New Features :
3D Library – Nearly 200 textured 3D models loaded with a single click, parented to a controlling Null layer. The library is available for download from the Preset window.
Connect – connect physical particles to each other using various constraint types, for creating Springs and Chains.
Planar reflection – Have object reflect off of planes.
Model Path Deform – Deform models in 3D space using masks or paths defined with AE lights.
Groups – Transform model parts by OBJ groups.
Subsurface scattering – Create organic lighting look for surfaces.
New Material options – Refraction , Emissive , Adjust Environment and Reflection .
Model node as emitter source – Create emitter source with model node and apply deformers.
Speed – Up to 15% faster render.
Gloss / Roughness – Inverted for easier import PBR materials.

In Depth:
Model node – Added segments to extruded path for better deformation.
Model node – Auto load 3D Model material textures on import.
Model node – Respect node active state when connected to particle nodes.
Particle node – Set ‘Use model’ to either ‘All’ or ‘Random’ for when multiple model nodes are connected.
Transform node – Use Null layer for easier transformation control.
Physics -Better interactive responsiveness while tweaking physical particles.
Physical forces – New spherical type: ‘Particle birth’. used to attract particles to their birth position.
Physics forces – New parameter for spherical forces: ‘To distance’. Factors the distance to the influence.
Main effect render options – Make environment layer visible in render.
Main effect render options -Select ‘Helpers’ render color.
