Bonix Software Unveils New Features of iStopMotion 3.1



German software producer Boinx has unveiled some special upgrades the 3.1 version of its popular iStopMotion tool. The new release now includes a Screen Capture feature, which had been requested by many users, and has been retooled for better functionality.

Artists can easily capture frames from the screen to create stop motion animations or time-lapse movies by pairing the software with illustration programs such as Photoshop or InDesign, or any other app, for example, to document the creation of a drawing. They can then export movies in Apple ProRes format (if the codec is installed), and import directly into Final Cut Pro X for further editing, without the need to transcode.

Boinx iStopMotion is the leading solution for stop motion animation and timelapse capture, used by many parents, kids, teachers, brickfilmers, pro animators and anyone with an interest in this fascinating movie making technique. From tilt shift and color correction to creating high quality HD movies, iStopMotion is a comprehensive application for the Mac that makes it possible for users of all skill levels to create stop motion animations. In 2011, Boinx Software added iStopMotion for iPad to its family of stop-motion animation products.



iStopMotion 3.1 is now available both from the Mac App Store and the Boinx website for $49.99 or as a free update for existing v3 customers. iStopMotion 3.1 requires OS X 10.7.4 Lion or newer.

DreamWorks’ Turbo app to shell out US$1 million


It’s commonplace these days for major animated blockbusters to be preceded by a branded app. DreamWorks Animation is putting a spin on things with its Turbo Racing League app that is currently offering up to US$1 million in shell-out cash prizes.

The free app is based on DreamWorks’ upcoming racing-themed animated film Turbo, which hits theaters July 17 and is distributed by Twentieth Century Fox.

The “$1,000,000 Shell-Out Contest” is presented by mobile giant Verizon and encourages players in the US to show off their racing skills on specific contest tracks during an eight-week qualifying period of weekly races, which start today and run through July 7. Each week, the 10-fastest racers will win cash prizes up to US$25,000. Each of the eight weekly first-place winners will be invited to final race event in L.A. on July 17 to compete for a grand prize of $250,000.

And while the game is available on all US mobile carriers, users who play on a Verizon device will also be privy to exclusive film content, as well as game customization options.

Turbo Racing League was developed by DreamWorks and published by PikPok (Super Monsters Ate My Condo) and is available on the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Android handsets and tablets, and Windows Phone 8.

This app isn’t Turbo‘s only digital offspring. The 3D film has already inspired an original Netflix series called Turbo F.A.S.T. that’s set to debut on the streaming service in December.

V-Ray 1.6 for SketchUp Open Beta Announced



Chaos Group announced the biggest expansion to SketchUp’s rendering capabilities – the V-Ray 1.6 for SketchUp Beta Program.

This massive upgrade to V-Ray for SketchUp includes a series of new feature introductions that enhance visualization workflow and render quality (V-Ray RT®, V-Ray Dome Light) and streamline scene complexity (V-Ray Proxy).


The features are as follows :
  • Rendering Engines
V-Ray RT - a revolutionary rendering engine providing instant feedback and streamlining scene setup. Because V-Ray RT is built upon the same robust core as V-Ray, it is seamless to transition between V-Ray RT and production rendering. For the everyday user this s a very powerful interactive rendering solution that allows them to simultaneously work and render inside of SketchUp. The instant visual feedback makes for quicker design, material, and lighting decisions. The current version of V-Ray RT is only supported on the CPU.

Retrace Threshold - reduce Light Cache artifacts and improve the appearance of glossy reflections and refractions when using the time saving feature - Use light cache for glossy rays

  • Lights
Dome light - create simple, artifact-free image-based lighting using the dome Light. its powerful importance sampling analyzes HDR images and optimizes light tracing and gi precision. This new feature will streamline your workflow when using image based lighting in your scenes.it will not only save you setup and rendering time but it will also increase the quality of the image based light and shadows.

Lights as components - V-Ray lights can now be part of a SketchUp component. This makes it easy to change the design and settings of multiple lights at one time.

Sphere Light - create spherically shaped area lights.

  • Geometry
V-Ray Proxy - an indispensable tool for managing scene memory and efficiently rendering massive amounts of geometry. V-Ray Proxy objects are dynamically loaded and unloaded at render-time, saving vital RAM resources. Use V-Ray Proxy to render millions of polygons at maximum memory efficiency and increase the amount of detail and complexity of your SketchUp scenes.

Faster Parsing Times - major speed improvements have been made when processing the SketchUp scene for rendering with V-Ray.

  • V-Ray Frame Bufferer ImproVements
Render History - this option allows you to save your rendered images and load them directly in the V-Ray frame buffer.

Compare Tool - new compare option to easily compare two rendered images directly in the V-Ray frame buffer

  • V-Ray Lens Effect
Lens Effect - allows you to achieve bloom and glare effects in your renderings.

  • Materials
V-Ray Material - a compact and optimized material that includes diffuse, reflection, and refraction parameters with the ability to change the BRDF.

Wrapper Material - can be used to specify additional properties per material. Most importantly you can now create true matte materials which shows the background as opposed to the base material.

Material Library - this new library contains over a 100 ready to use and photo realistic V-Ray materials.

  • Other
Procedural Texture Mapping - we add more texture mapping to allow you create different effect on the materials. Now you have more freedom on the materials creation.

- AColorop
- Combine Color
- Mix
- NoiseMax

  • Texture editing
Three different Color Spaces - to correct the gamma of the images.

- Linear
- Gamma Corrected
- sRGB





The Beta program will run for approximately 3 months. The official release is expected in early August.

New Final Cut Pro X Masking Plug-In Integrates mocha Planar Tracking Technology for Fast, Accurate Masking with Fewer Keyframes

GUILDFORD, UK (May 14, 2013) -- Imagineer Systems, creators of the Academy Award winning mocha Planar Tracking technology, and CoreMelt today announced the immediate availability of a new Final Cut Pro X masking plug-in, SliceX powered by mocha. This new version of SliceX, previewed at NAB 2013 last month, comes as a result of a strategic partnership between Imagineer Systems and CoreMelt, resulting in the integration of Imagineer’s award winning Planar Tracker into CoreMelt’s shape masking tool.

SliceX powered by mocha lets you create instant shape masks to cut out layers or isolate effects directly in Final Cut Pro X without having to go into Motion or create the masks with an external program. With this new version, mocha planar tracking allows artists to quickly and easily track roto shapes for accurate masking with significantly less manual keyframing. SliceX also includes nine motion templates for common tasks and you can also use the shape masks with built in effects, the built in color corrector or with third party plugins.

Ben Balser of FCProXUnivserity.com has been testing SliceX powered by mocha and had this to say about its impact on his day-to-day work: “Incorporating mocha planar tracking into SliceX is like adding farm made whipped cream to Louisiana strawberries; it takes something already amazing, and makes it heavenly. Having worked with SliceX powered by mocha first hand now, I am speechless and my heart won't stop racing. It is not only immensely impressive, but will shave hours, if not days, or even weeks off of many Final Cut Pro X editors’ projects.”

Knut Hake is an accomplished independent editor and has edited dozens of TV shows, movies, commercials, and shorts. In 2004, an episode that he edited of the TV show Berlin won an International Emmy Award. More recently, Knut has been editing the German weekly TV series Danni Lowinski which has captured stellar ratings and won industry awards for best series and best comedy. Knut has also been testing SliceX powered by mocha and made this observation, “If you want to buy just one plug-in for FCPX, this is the one!”

Apple Certified Trainer, Iain Anderson hosts an in depth tutorial on SliceX powered by mocha, which can be see here: http://www.imagineersystems.com/vide...-by-mocha/view

Imagineer’s relationship with CoreMelt is the most recent in a string of partnerships in which industry leading post production technology developers have recognized the value of Imagineer’s Planar Tracking and software developer’s kit (Planar Tracker SDK). In recent months, Imagineer has entered into strategic partnerships and licensing agreements with companies such as Adobe Systems, Silhouette, Quantel and FXhome.


Pricing and Availability

SliceX powered by mocha is available immediately and is priced at $149.00 USD.

About mocha: Academy Award Winning Technology

In February 2013, Imagineer Systems was honored by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences with a Scientific and Technical Award for mocha and its Planar Tracking technology. Imagineer Systems’ Philip McLauchlan, Allan Jaenicke, John-Paul Smith and Ross Shain were selected as a winner for mocha and its underlying Planar Tracking technology. The Company was recognized for their proven record of contributing significant value to the post-production process of making motion pictures.

Over the years, Imagineer’s mocha software has gained acclaimed notoriety within Hollywood’s visual effects community for its ability to “motion track” problematic footage such as out of focus and marker-less areas helping enable a technique called ‘digital makeup’ or ‘seamless effects.’ Visual effects artists use planar tracking to magically transform actors and locations without requiring timely makeup sessions and expensive sets, allowing directors to make important creative decisions long after the performance has been captured. Capturing accurate movement is essential and mocha has been involved in some famous digital makeup examples such as the snake-like noseless Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter films, replacing Mystique’s eyes in X-Men and helping Natalie Portman undergo an amazing transformation in Black Swan.


About Imagineer Systems

Imagineer Systems Ltd is the Academy Award winning developer of visual effects solutions for film, video and broadcast post production markets. Imagineer Systems has made its mark on such marquee Hollywood blockbuster productions as The Hobbit, Black Swan, The Amazing Spiderman, Invictus, and the Harry Potter series. Imagineer’s desktop product line consists of mocha Pro™ - roto, planar tracking, compositing, and removal utility; mocha AE™ - a planar tracking and roto utility designed for After Effects and Final Cut Pro users. Imagineer Systems was founded in 2000 and its headquarters is located in Guildford, United Kingdom.

MPC Showcase Fracture.io



MPC NY breaks the mold for The One Club and JWT with Fracture.io

This year, MPC Digital teamed up with The One Club via JWT New York to create Fracture.io, a stunning installation experience for The One Show’s lavish after party at NYC’s Bowery Hotel. Fracture.io allowed guests – a selection of the advertising and design industries’ biggest players – to literally enter the digital space, taking 3D scans of pose-striking partygoers to generate beautifully abstracted, full body 3D renderings.

Exercising their trademarked ingenuity, the team at MPC Digital aimed to create a real-time 3D scanning and visualization system using little more than off-the-shelf hardware, the Microsoft Kinect. The result was a refreshingly uncomplicated installation that functioned on clarity of artistic vision as much as technical wizardry, and which served as a testament to the creativity celebrated at the evening’s One Show awards ceremony.

Fracture.io took the form of a 12x16ft room (built with fabrication and AV partner SenovvA) with four Microsoft Kinects aimed at the center, where guests were invited to pose for the cameras. Using their OpenFrameworks application, MPC Digital was able to instantly capture full image and depth data.

A custom modified version of PCL then stitched this data into a smooth mesh and calculated the normal – a scanning solution that allowed the team to dial exposure time up or down, more effectively balancing accuracy and speed.

Once the mesh was created, it could be used as the basis for generative 3D visualizations of guests’ forms. The mesh could then be imported into Unity, which wrapped the form in splines bearing custom 3D objects. All of this occurred near instantaneously, displayed on massive screens both within and outside of the booth. On these screens the camera panned over the guest’s form and surrounding environment, utilizing a custom dynamic rack focus system driven by the same sort of 3×3 matrix found in high-end autofocus cameras. The end result is an animated generative artwork of both striking precision and abstract beauty.

Animations and meshes were then exported and automatically assigned unique URLs on the Fracture.io website gallery, allowing guests to view and share their portraits.

VisitEngland, the UK’s national tourist board has recruited Wallace & Gromit as 'Tourism Trailblazers' to inspire Britons to take a holiday at home this year.

The campaign kicked off with Wallace & Gromit exploring the country’s most exciting holiday spots on their motorbike and sidecar, plus the duo are now starring in a new animated TV ad, which is going out across TV and cinema screens in the UK

Take a look at their brand new animated ad below, which will be showing on TV and cinemas screens across the UK:



Nick Park, Creator and Director of Wallace & Gromit, said “Leisure time has always been very important to Wallace & Gromit, so it’s great to see them making this holiday choice. A nice cup of tea and some tasty local cheese is always a favourite so they won’t be disappointed with their holiday in the UK.

Indie Iranian Animation Studio to Offer Prophet Muhammad Biopic at Cannes Market


The Aria Animation Studio, a major private Iranian animation company, plans to offer “Muhammad, the Last Messenger of God”, a 3D animation series on the life story of the Prophet of Islam, at the Cannes Film Market this year.

The series has been produced in 26 episodes and the running time of each episode is 22 minutes, producer Dariush Dalvand told the Persian service of MNA on Monday.

“The animation has been produced using the most professional techniques in the world,” he said and added that the series is expected to be welcomed by the Arab TV stations, which plan to supply Islamic film productions to their viewers during Ramadan.

He said that 1750 cartoon characters have been used to narrate the story in “Muhammad, the Last Messenger of God”, which took four years to be produced.

The Aria Animation Studio, a major private Iranian company which is run by Dalvand brothers, Dariush, Kianush, Farzad and Kurosh, also plans to prepare a feature-length version of the animation, which was directed by Kianush.

Kurosh Barzegar has written the script based on “The Light of the Eternity” authored by Ayatollah Jafar Sobhani and Hojjatoleslam Mozaffar Salari.

The Cannes Film Market will be held from May 15 to 24.

Fantastic Films International, a Los Angeles-based company, got the franchise to premiere Aria’s 3-D Persian epic “Battle of the Kings: Rostam & Sohrab” in the world at the film market last year.

Shotgun Releases Complete UI Overhaul with Artist-Friendly Shotgun 5.0


Simplified Access to Essential Tasks and Updates on Top of Powerful Project Management, Review and Asset Tracking Toolset

Venice, CA (May 13, 2013)--Shotgun Software, developer of Shotgun, the leading production management system designed for the visual effects, animation and game industries, today released a complete product overhaul with Shotgun Version 5.0. Shotgun encompasses production tracking, scheduling, review and approval, helping modern production pipelines run as efficiently as possible--but now includes a new UI and toolset designed specifically for artists and supervisors. Shotgun 5.0 also adds new tools for task tracking, review and approval, collaboration and search, and is still priced at $49.00 USD per seat, per month.

The version 5.0 build of Shotgun was designed together with artists who wanted simple and visual views of their essential tasks and key updates with tools to collaborate about their work with supervisors and peers. Shotgun 5.0 delivers that and more, including:

My Tasks—A simple view of an artist’s tasks with key project information and updates presented in an easily digestible news feed format. My Tasks also displays who else is actively working with the artist at any given time, breaking down the walls that divide artists who often work in isolation whether co-located or at remote locations.

Inbox—A visual collection of notes and important updates related to the artist’s work. Artists can customize their inbox by choosing to ‘follow’ progress of specific project shots or assets that are important to them filtering out updates that aren’t relevant to their tasks.

Global Search—Search for anything in any project and receive an immediate, curated list of results with an easy-to-read news feed style layout.

"For the 5.0 release, we turned our focus to artists and supervisors, designing simple and visual tools that connect them to important project details and to each other," said Don Parker, Co-Founder and CEO, Shotgun Software. "This is an important step towards providing an off-the-shelf toolset that equally meets the needs of creative artists and data-centric facility managers around the single goal of doing great work while running a solid business."

Shotgun 5.0 comes on the heels of a new integrated Shotgun package, making three previously independent products (Shotgun, Revolver and Tank) available now as a single, unified, comprehensive package at a cost of $49 per user/per month. Pricing for enterprise customers, advanced support options and education institutions is available upon request by emailing sales@shotgunsoftware.com.


About Shotgun Software
Shotgun Software was founded in 2006 by a group of visual effects professionals to build production tracking, review and asset management solutions for modern studio pipelines. The founding members worked together on a major studio animated feature and develop tools to fill the mounting industry need for a commercially viable system for managing complex projects spread across multiple locations. Shotgun is actively developing the system with more than 400 industry studios including EA, Blue Sky, Double Negative, Framestore, Method, Pixomondo, Playstation, Blizzard and Zoic Studios.

Oscar-Winning VFX Duo To Make Horror Movie



With the tough economic times facing the domestic VFX industry, two veterans have decided to sidestep the studios and try to make an old-school horror movie using a new-media financial model. They’re calling it a “practical creature FX film” and visual effects artists Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr. have launched a Kickstarter campaign to make their Harbinger Down film a reality.

“In the spirit of sci-fi/horror classics Alien and The Thing, Harbinger Down is a tense, claustrophobic full-length creature film that will feature only practical animatronic and makeup effects,” said Gillis. To meet that goal, the duo started crowdfunding this week to raise $350,000 toward making the movie. They’ve already raised $35,548 from 155 backers including one who got him or herself an executive producer credit by donating $10,000.

Gillis will write and make his directorial feature debut with the film about a group of environmentally eager grad students who come face to face on the high seas with the terrifying consequences of Soviet space radiation experiments. Millennium star Lance Henriksen is also attached to Harbinger Down.

 Gillis and Woodruff most recently worked on the alien creatures effects for the upcoming Ender’s Game. Two decades ago, the duo won an Oscar for their work on the Robert Zemeckis-directed Death Becomes Her and were nominated for Academy Awards for 1992’s Aliens 3 and 1997’s Starship Troopers.

If they can reach their financial goal by June 7, the pair will produce Harbinger Down along with Jennifer Tung from their company Studio ADI.

Disney Animation Meets Marvel Comics With ‘Big Hero 6′



Disney is expanding its lucrative comic book universe with a shift from live-action to animation with its first animated Marvel movie, "Big Hero 6."

"Big Hero 6" is based on the comic book series created in 1998 by Steven T. Seagle and Duncan Rouleau that chronicles the adventures of a Japanese government-sanctioned team of superheroes. The story mostly centers on Hiro Takachiho, a 13-year-old tech genius and reluctant new member of the team, and his synthetic bodyguard/sidekick, Baymax.

Another member of Big Hero 6 is Kenuichio Harada, aka Silver Samurai, who has the power to charge any object (except adamantium) with mutant energy. He was originally one of Wolverine's arch-enemies and can be spotted in the CinemaCon trailer for "The Wolverine" as well as on his own character poster. However, as Silver Samurai is appearing in a Marvel property owned by Fox, it's highly likely that he won't be appearing in Disney's "Big Hero 6."

"Big Hero 6" isn't the most well-known Marvel title, but that obscurity is exactly what attracted director Don Hall, who directed Disney's 2011 big-screen animated adaptation of "Winnie the Pooh."

The title's obscurity also allows Hall to re-interpret and revise certain elements of the comic, one of the most notable being shifting the action from Tokyo to "San Fransokyo," a uniquely stylized and high-tech cityscape that meshes elements of both San Francisco and Tokyo. The city is on display in a piece of concept art and first-look footage.

Having a story take place in a fictional city is a new element to the Marvel movie universe, as all of the live-action films have taken place in real-life locales such as New York City, Malibu and -- most recently in "Iron Man 3" -- small-town Tennessee.

"Big Hero 6" will hit theaters on November 7, 2014, making for a good Marvel fix between "Guardians of the Galaxy" (August 1, 2014) and "Marvel's The Avengers 2" (May 1, 2015).

I can also say it's a study from Michelangelo's one of the master piece. The whole process was so fun and I really enjoyed Zbrush throughout the whole process and have learned a lot from the sculpture. To get a translucent marble effect I used Mentalray SSS shader of Maya and the final composition done in Photoshop. Hope you guys will like it.
