New Release of Boris FX's Sapphire 2023 Brings High-Tech Visual Effects
Boris FX Sapphire 2023, a collection of plugins for visual effects (VFX) and post-production, has been released, offering new visual effects, updates, and improved features.
The S_PrismLens Effect
One of the standout additions in Sapphire 2023 is the S_PrismLens effect. This tool simulates shooting through a physical glass prism, creating cinematic and dreamy looks. By replicating the colourful and distorted look of light passing through a prism, users can artistically manipulate lens flare and refraction within their footage easily [1].
The S_UltraGrain Effect
Another new feature is the S_UltraGrain effect, a grain tool designed to add cinematic film grain to footage with great control and realism. It provides a high-quality grain texture to help achieve a natural, organic film look, enhancing the visual ambiance with subtle noise and texture that mimics real film stock [1].
Other Updates and Features
Sapphire 2023 also includes other updates like 18 new lens flares, the S_Dust effect for adding cinematic atmosphere, and the S_PixelMosh effect for creating digital glitch looks [1].
