Portland, OR -- Red Giant announced the release of Trapcode Suite 12, the industry standard VFX package for high quality broadcast design and 3D motion graphics. With this release, Trapcode Suite adds Adobe Creative Suite 6 (CS6) updates; bonus Guru Presets for Shine and Particular; and Trapcode Mir, the new product from Trapcode creator Peder Norrby.

Sneak previewed at NAB 2012, Trapcode Mir creates beautiful mesh objects made of polygons, shaped by fractal noise, and textured and illuminated in a 3D environment. Because it is built on the OpenGL standard, Trapcode Mir allows instant previews and faster design workflows.

“Trapcode Mir is my first GPU plug-in, and I'm amazed at the speed provided by OpenGL rendering,” said Peder Norrby, creator of Trapcode. “I'm excited to see what the talented and creative Trapcode artists around the world come up with using this new tool.”

“We think filmmakers and effects artists will be especially excited about Trapcode Suite 12 with Peder’s newest creation, Mir,” added Andrew Little, president and co-founder of Red Giant. “Peder not only listens to his customers, he’s inspired by them. He created Mir in response to artists’ craving for more elegant, creative tools combined with speed and efficiency.”
