Frischluft ZbornToy is an After Effects plugin built to extract a maximum amount of information from simple depth images, letting compositors light and texture a scene, refract backgrounds, cast caustic reflections onto the background, and a great deal more, all from 2D depth data rather than a full 3D scene.
Lighting in ZbornToy supports shadows and soft shadows using a direct light, a point light, and environmental illumination based on panoramic or spherical maps, complete with occlusion approximations. Reflections are tied directly into the shading system, so reflected light is diffused and colored according to how a surface is actually defined, rather than existing as a separate, disconnected effect.
The shading system is designed to simplify a traditionally complex process while keeping surfaces looking coherent. Defining a surface's glossiness, for example, requires nothing more than dialing in or texturing a single glossiness parameter, with everything related to the look of a glossy surface responding automatically based on both mathematical accuracy and artistic judgment. The result is a small number of parameters that can still produce materials ranging from plastics and metal to skin, including realistic translucency.
Despite the depth of control on offer, ZbornToy is designed to feel fast and playful rather than technical, taking advantage of After Effects' adaptive previews so parameters, lighting, and textures can be adjusted while watching results update in close to real time, with medium resolution previews around 800 by 800 pixels typically rendering in just 1 to 3 seconds per frame.
A final quality section allows for high fidelity output through refined refraction reading and projection, along with alternative oversampling options, and the plugin includes a color parameter that allows environment lighting to be used without needing separate texture maps. ZbornToy is available for Adobe After Effects on Windows and macOS, with Apple Silicon support and multi frame rendering.
