Codeworkers Lehmann project for C4D
For the past few months, coworkers and friends have been asking me about "the Cinema 4D plugin that breaks stuff up". More than just posting it (it's been in several boards), I hope this will help me to remember its name "Lehmann" (aka 'the-voroni-break-stuff-up-into-chunks-plugin')

DigiEffects' new plugin
The new Camera Mapper plugin from DigiEffects is currently on sale for a limited time... but the good people at DigiEffects have extended that sale thru the end of the month, so you still have a chance to get it at the introductory price. (Works great with PlaneSpace from Red Giant Software)
The Camera Mapper plugin allows you to isolate one or several objects in your footage, project these objects on a separate layer and pull that layer out of the background, creating the visual illusion of the object floating in front of the original footage.
