These include relighting tools for diffuse, specularity, reflections and the ability to relight the &#8220;Alpha&#8221; of a 3D displaced image using After Effects own lights. In Pixel Cloud we can specify lights that only affect the alpha channel of an image. Since the image is a 3D displaced Pixel Cloud, this means we can easily separate parts of an image according to their depth information. This is a powerful tool and a normal map isn&#8217;t a prerequisite, meaning you can relight non-CG generated images like photos and video. The video isn&#8217;t up yet but as a taste here is a preview of what the upcoming demo\/tutorial will show how we can utilize this tool to relight the alpha of Jack, our cute little dog from the previous demo!\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GMMM7sLgzf0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both;\">\n<div><div style=\"padding-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:10pt;font-family:arial;font-weight:bold;\">Share this post!<\/div><div class=simplesocial><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-url=\"http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/?p=656\" data-text=\"Pixel+Cloud%3A+Alpha+Lights+Demo+Coming%21\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"horizontal\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div><div class=simplesocial><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fblurrypixel.com%2F%3Fp%3D656&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=35\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:25px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div><div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div><a class=simplesocial onclick=\"return simplesocial(this,500,400)\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" style=\"background:url(http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons\/icons_32\/facebook.png)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblurrypixel.com%2F%3Fp%3D656&t=Pixel+Cloud%3A+Alpha+Lights+Demo+Coming%21\"><\/a><a class=simplesocial onclick=\"return simplesocial(this,435,500)\" title=\"Email a Friend\" style=\"background:url(http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons\/icons_32\/email.png)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freetellafriend.com\/tell\/?heading=Share+This+Article&bg=1&option=email&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblurrypixel.com%2F%3Fp%3D656\"><\/a><a class=simplesocial onclick=\"return simplesocial(this,700,500)\" title=\"Share on Reddit\" style=\"background:url(http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons\/icons_32\/reddit.png)\" href=\"http:\/\/reddit.com\/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblurrypixel.com%2F%3Fp%3D656&title=Pixel+Cloud%3A+Alpha+Lights+Demo+Coming%21\"><\/a><a class=simplesocial title=\"RSS Feed\" style=\"background:url(http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-social-sharing-widgets-icons\/icons_32\/rss.png)\" href=\"http:\/\/blurrypixel.com\/?feed=rss2\"><\/a><\/div><div style=\"clear:both;margin-bottom:20px\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pixel Cloud has a robust set of relighting tools.
