Boris FX Introduces BCC 1.3 for Autodesk Sparks
May 30, 2006
Boston, MA - Boris FX announced version 1.3 of Boris Continuum Complete (BCC) pursuant to the Autodesk Sparks program ($5,000). This comprehensive suite of native filters extends the capabilities of Autodesk Burn®, Autodesk’s Discreet® Inferno®, Discreet® Flame®, Discreet® Flint®, Discreet® Fire®, and Discreet® Smoke® products.
This Linux-based solution is based on the Autodesk Sparks Program Application Programming Interface (API) for developing custom plug-ins.
“Boris Continuum Complete for Autodesk Media & Entertainment systems products was designed to ease effect creation in high-end compositing situations, giving the artist the ability to generate masks and perform motion tracking directly within the product’s interface,” comments Peter McAuley, senior product manager, Boris FX. “Included is a preset manager, which not only comes with hundreds of preset effects, but also gives the artist the ability to load and save all of the parameter settings for use on other projects or systems, including graphics workstations that have been set up with BCC in other host environments such as Autodesk Combustion® software.”
Continuum’s filters expand the capabilities of Autodesk Media & Entertainment software’s world-renowned visual effects solutions with OpenGL acceleration and powerful integration features.
Volume I includes more than 70 filters in four categories, Colors and Blurs, Effects, Lights and Wipe Transitions. Among the highlights are sophisticated glows and OpenGL-based generators that simulate real-life lighting such as lens flares, glints and glares. Other cutting-edge filters include DeNoise, DeInterlace, Witness Protection and dozens more.
New Features include:
-Support for Autodesk Burn networked rendering
-Support for 32 and 64 bit architecture
-Better support for OpenGL-based filter effects
-Linux systems support
