Landscape Effects
Wide outdoor or environmental scenes where sky, terrain, and atmosphere dominate the frame.
Landscapes are the image type where atmosphere is the subject, not just the backdrop, so AniFX's planned landscape effects are weather- and sky-driven — drifting clouds, moving water, falling rain or snow — designed to bring an outdoor scene to life the way it would look if you stood there a little longer.
Because a landscape has no single focal point the way a portrait or product shot does, effects here are being designed to move continuously and loop indefinitely, rather than deliver one contained gesture — the goal is a scene that feels alive on a loop, not a highlight reel.
