GPU-Accelerated plugin for Vegas

I've been using a titler plugin called Heroglyph from a company called proDad that I like very well. It does things like the handwriting effect, moving titles along a map / route / path, and so on. Great plugin.

Now I see they have a new effects package called Vitascene that does a variety of things (like film looks, rays of light, starburst, sparkles, etc.) with GPU acceleration for rendering.. It's an expensive package, looks like it combines some of the features from other popular plugins (films looks, Radiance, etc.).

I don't know if the new package is good, bad, whatever, but I find it encouraging that they are using GPU acceleration. Other than the magic bullet film looks plugin, I don't know of any others that do for Vegas.

I hope this becomes a trend for Vegas plugins!

Boris Red is Open GL accelerated, as is Wax (freeware).

I don't see any pricing info. How do you know it's expensive?

The pricing is in the news section:

Thanx, sure wasn't obvious.

(also how you can tell it's expensive :P )

However, that's not really that high of a price depending on what's in there.

I was watching the vids and looking at the pics. I think the plug doesn't look like it's got the quality of the velvet matter plugs, I could be wrong since I haven't tried them, but it also appeared that you needed to have Heroglyph to use the plugs also. That adds some additional dough.
