Every light has a shape.
Nx Radiance is a physically based glow and lens-effects engine. Use the Graphic look for titles, logos and motion graphics, or switch to Physical for camera footage, where the glow takes its light from the source the way a real lens scatters it.
Colour that separates by wavelength, starbursts that come from the aperture, anamorphic streaks, lens dirt that catches light, and any image as the shape of the glow, natively inside DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Motion.

Key features
Graphic is a clean bloom for titles, logos and motion graphics. Physical is a lens model that takes the glow’s light from its source, so it sits inside camera footage.
Red light scatters further than blue, so hot white sources wear a warm outer halo. Give each channel its own radius, or split the colours apart.
Horizontal streaks with their own colour, length, angle and chromatic spread.
Starbursts come from the aperture: set the blade count and the rays follow the same rule as a real iris. Lens glare adds the faint rings and rainbow fringes a bladed aperture really produces.
A heart, a hexagon, a brush stroke, your logo. Build it from up to twenty nested copies, or use the image as the aperture and let its diffraction become the glow.
Invisible until light reaches it, like a smudge on a real front element. Use the built-in texture or your own.
Soft Clip, Film, ACES Filmic, Filmic, Hable Filmic, Reinhard, Reinhard Extended and Chroma Clamp, applied to the whole image or to the glow alone.
24 input encodings, from Rec.709 and sRGB through the major camera log formats to linear ACEScg, and 32-bit float from end to end.
Restores energy to clipped or compressed SDR highlights so bright sources still glow convincingly.
Glow Only and Glow + Alpha outputs for compositing, with glow that can extend beyond the edges of a transparent layer.
Render View shows what feeds the glow, the glow on its own, the lens dirt, or the lens response of your current settings.
Metal, CUDA and OpenCL keep it quick enough to leave on while you edit, and every spatial control scales with the frame, from proxy to 4K, 8K and beyond.
