RE:Vision Effects Updates Twixtor Pro
October 15, 2003
San Francisco, CA - RE:Vision Effects has released a major upgrade for Twixtor Pro for discreet's combustion 3. They also release RE:Flex, their warping and morphing solution, for discreet's combustion 3.
Twixtor is a plug-in tool to speed up, slow down or frame rate convert image sequences. Twixtor synthesizes unique new frames by warping and interpolating frames of the original sequence, employing RE:Vision Effects' proprietary tracking technology that calculates motion for each individual pixel.
RE:Flex brings intuitive morphing and warping directly to combustion 3 using RE:Vision Effects' proprietary and sophisticated technology. With RE:Flex, warping is directed through the combustion 3 roto tools, not through a grid of mesh points. As such, users can work very intuitively and freely to accomplish warps that can be very difficult or tedious with mesh-based warpers. The integration of RE:Flex with combustion 3 is very tight and seamless; the spline interface for RE:Flex is the one uers already know for other combustion tools. As with Twixtor Pro, users of RE:Flex in combustion 3 can tie spline vertices to combustion's tracker.
It should be noted that the morpher in RE:Flex uses the per-pixel image registration found in RE:Vision Effects' acclaimed Twixtor product to automatically align the non-handmatched parts of the image. The automatic alignment feature can greatly improve morphs without having to specify all features by hand! This combined with discreet’s award-winning tracking technology provides a level of user assistance that is simply not available anywhere else.
Twixtor Pro is available for combustion 3 for $595.00. The regular version of Twixtor is available for $329.99. RE:Flex is bundled with combustion 3 at no extra cost.
Demo versions of the software and sample movies processed with Twixtor and RE:Flex are available online.
