About

In practice. What you can do with Universe Holomatrix II.

Universe Holomatrix II is a Universe postproduction plugin. Its purpose: turn text, logos and footage into disrupted holographic displays.

Compare the result with functions already available in your host. Judge control over a real shot rather than the number of available presets.

Access is through Universe, also included in Red Giant and Maxon One. This is not a standalone purchase priced at the cost of the suite. Check the plugin against your exact host version. Archive source material and a final render rather than relying only on a plugin-dependent project.
