ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Aura Creator

2019/05/30

TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 27, 2019 — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced Aura Creator, RGB-effect-editing software that enables users to create and customize brand-new lighting effects. Its streamlined user interface was designed to be easy to learn for beginners, while offering a multi-layered and expansive level of control for more experienced creators and modders.

Aura Creator is the latest evolution of Aura RGB, realizing a long-held ROG goal of giving PC enthusiasts greater power to personalize and perfect their gaming experience. With this new software, users have the freedom to build lighting effects tailored precisely to their tastes, from harmonizing simple colors across their battlestation to constructing multi-layered RGB masterpieces from scratch.

Seeing RGB in a new light
RGB lighting started as a simple suite of cosmetic customizations, enabling players to change colors and effects for select PC components. ROG pushed for more, incorporating reactive functionality like linking lighting to music and CPU temperatures. Aura Sync expanded those options across compatible internal components and external peripherals from ASUS and partners, allowing for effect synchronization across entire systems.

Further development led to Aura Ready, which unlocked system lighting for developers for use in their software. The Aura SDK has spurred on additional collaboration with major publishers, enhancing immersion in games like Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4, Anthem®, Pathfinder®: Kingmaker™, and Tropico® 6 by changing system lighting based on specific in-game events.

Now, Aura Creator allows for deep control of lighting from the ground-up, giving modders, gamers, and other RGB enthusiasts a clean slate to customize, combine, and conceive of new visual effects.
