[[Maxon Red Giant]] is a series of professional plugins developed by MAXON. Historically, it is a collection of former effect suites by the RedGiant company, who were purchased and absorbed into Maxon around 2020. These suites existed as separate products until mid-2024 with the release of Red Giant 2024.2.0. <ref>https://support.maxon.net/hc/en-us/articles/16234455624988-Red-Giant-2024-2-0-April-10-2024</ref> | |||
Red Giant includes all of RedGiant's supported collections ''except'' for Universe, which now goes under [[Maxon Universe]].<ref>https://www.maxon.net/en/red-giant</ref> It also does not include the Effect Suite, which was discontinued in 2019<ref>https://support.maxon.net/hc/en-us/sections/360004536613-Legacy-Effects-VFX-Suite</ref>. | |||
= | Due to this reshuffling, the suite names are no longer used, however will still be used for this article for clarity and historic reasons. | ||
=Trapcode Suite= | |||
Effects in the Trapcode Suite allow for the manipulation of 3D space to fit any need. This includes abstract (or imported) 3D shapes, terrains, particle arrays, anything you can think of! | |||
Most Trapcode plugins are only compatible with [[After Effects]], however there are few exceptions. The last version released before being absorbed into Red Giant was Trapcode Suite 2024.2.2.<ref>https://support.maxon.net/hc/en-us/articles/15781762256156-Trapcode-2024-2-2-August-22-2024</ref> | |||

Echospace is more of a scripting tool than an effect, but still needs to be placed in a layer to work. It allows you to easily create ''manual'' [[Trails]] by automatically placing each layer with respective spatial and temporal distortion. | |||

Mir is a plugin that's intended use is for generating 3D fractal terrain. However it can be very easily manipulated to do many kinds of 3D fractal distortion. In Mir 3 and newer, you can also import 3D models to work with as well. | |||
