Bart?omiej Ot?owski posts a new tool for After Effects, the Layer converter. If you have ever wanted to converter a standard After Effects layer into something else, such as a null or a point light, this is the thing for you.
[pullquote]automatically converts selected layers to Null objects or Point Lights.[/pullquote]Layer Converter will automatically convert your layer selections in one click. This is a great companion to something like Plexus, where you can replace every type of layer into a bill object or a light, for easily adding geometry to your scene.
Layer Converter features:
- Works with all types of layers.
- Converts multiple layers at once.
- Works with 2D and 3D layers.
- Copies every type of keyframe.
- Converts selected layers to Null objects or Point Lights.
- Copies rotation, position and orientation (from 3D layer) of selected layers.
- Changes Light’s name to ‘Emitter #(index number)’
- Brings back the layer order
