Lockdown 4.1.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesLockdown is a plugin for Adobe After Effects that tracks surfaces which bend, fold and wrinkle as they move. A shirt twisting on a dancer, a flag in wind, a phone screen in a moving hand: Lockdown builds a mesh over the surface and follows it frame by frame.
Key Features
- Track warping surfaces such as clothing, flags and skin with a mesh
- Place points with the AI assisted tools in version 4
- Give a track depth and export to Cinema 4D, Blender or Alembic
- Paint and composite on tracks with bundled Paint Link and Composite Brush tools
- Add fast motion blur so graphics sit naturally on moving footage
