Digital Film Tools Accelerates zMatte .5

Digital Film Tools, developer of visual effects software, today is proud to announce that its zMatte plug-in is now GPU-accelerated, making it faster than ever to create motion picture-quality blue/green screen composites.

zMatte is a full-featured keyer that is the result of Digital Film Tools experience in creating hundreds of successful blue and green screen composites. Using proprietary matte extraction techniques, zMatte quickly and simply creates mattes with minimal parameters, even when dealing with fine hair detail, smoke or reflections. It is easy to use, yet provides the necessary tools when faced with difficult shots - tools such as multiple matte creation, automatic spill suppression, sophisticated matte and edge manipulation, and color correction.

zMatte includes the following plug-ins to handle keying, matte generation and compositing: Color Suppress, DeArtifact, Edge Composite, Frame Averager, Holdout Composite, Keyer, Light Wrap, Matte Generator, Matte Repair, and Screen Smoother.

Following our master plan to GPU-accelerate all of our software, zMatte v3.5 is now ready for use in production, comments Marco Paolini, founder and president, Digital Film Tools. We have implemented OpenCL as our method of acceleration, and most modern graphics cards can take advantage of this technology. In most cases, users will see dramatic speed increases while rendering.
