PointGlue:XYZ is an expression based toolset that allows you to attach layers and position effects controls to other position point data sources. This is similar to plug-ins like Trapcode Particular or Plexus or several lens flare plug-ins that can use 3D lights to determine positions for their emitters and lighting effects. The expression offers this functionality to effects that do not have such features built-in and in addition can help you to decouple different light groups from the ones you may be using in one of the aforementioned plug-ins. This can be useful if you want to avoid certain things to affect your 3D items in the composition. In addition to lights, the code also supports Null layers such as they can be exported from several 3D programs and also offers an easy way to attach to tracking data either by using Null objects and lights with the 3D tracker in After Effects CS6 or to the classical 2D point tracker and imported data from mochaAE. In combination with Symmetrion it will also allow tracking shapes and lines to create graphical patterns or mattes. It can also complement or replace scripts like Null Swapper or Particular Lights.
