After Effects' 3D lighting feature creates pools of light generated from light sources in 3D space - but you can't see the light itself or the cone it produces. Enter Trapcode Lux: a speedy plug-in that adds volumetric lighting effects to projects that require realistic spotlights, point lights, or stage lighting of all kinds.

Non-Square Pixels
