Nuke artists looking for a quick way to add rim lighting to their shots can now benefit from a free 2D Rim Light Tool created by CompAcademy. Available for download on Gumroad, this plugin provides a streamlined solution for adding rim lighting effects directly within Nuke’s node-based interface.
Flexibility and Control
The 2D Rim Light Tool stands out for its flexibility. It allows artists to create rim lights without the need for additional 3D setups, making it an excellent option for projects that rely on 2D workflows. Users can customize the direction, intensity, and spread of the rim light, providing control over how light interacts with the edges of objects.
Zero-Cost, Zero Excuses
As the cherry on top, the tool is completely free. You can grab it via Gumroad and start integrating it into your compositing pipeline immediately. While the price tag might be non-existent, the value it adds to your toolkit is tangible.
Ready for Production?
While the plugin is a handy addition for compositors, it’s always a good idea to test new tools before incorporating them into time-critical production environments. Simplicity and stability are key, and ensuring compatibility with your existing setup will save headaches later.
Download the plugin now on Gumroad.
And we got through all that without any RimShot-Jokes!
