Kaleidoscope plug-in for after effects

[Guest ernie]

Hi-

 

Do you guys know which plug in can create a fabulous kaleidoscope effect in after effects - 5.5? (yes i am still using 5.5 at home unfortunately) Let me know if you know and if you can give me the link to it it will be even better - thanks!

I think there is one in Pete's plugins. Don't know if it's any good, but they're free so you can't go wrong.

Thanks -

 

More specifically, I wanted the effect here where there are reflections from the sides and all - is it a filter or something that is created manually? Any clues? I don't mind paying as long as it is not too much

cc kaleida in stylize menu AE or petes plugins as mention//both of these will give you a start but that clip has had a lot of love.

Final Effects has a great kaleidoscope plug-in, i just used it on a project and it works great. it is called FE Kaleida

We used Tinderbox's Kaleidoscope plugin for that project...

The glass hi-lites were all done seperately and aren't part of the plug-in...

A combo of 3d and AE.. lots o layers..

but the Main Kaleidoscope effect was the plug-in...
