About CloudLight

CloudLight is an After Effects plugin by grape design that generates clouds from lights. It can process multiple lights simultaneously, with optional randomization when driven by several sources. Users control cloud appearance with detailed shape settings and separate shading parameters. The plugin includes a variety of billow patterns, texture adjustments, and blend mode choices for overlapping clouds, and allows free transformation of layers. A simple animation feature lets clouds be set in motion. CloudLight is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. A demo video is provided on the developer’s page to illustrate core and advanced features.
