Digital Film Tools Releases Film Stocks v2.0, Light v4.0, and Rays v2.0 18 November 2014
News
Digital Film Tools, developer of visual effects software, today announced the release of Film Stocks v2.0, Light v4.0, and Rays v2.0.
Film Stocks v2.0
Film Stocks is a unique filter that simulates 288 different color and black and white still photographic film stocks, motion picture films stocks and historical photographic processes. As a result of customer requests, Bleach Bypass, Cross Processing, Grunge, Three Strip and Two Strip Processes have been integrated into the Film Stocks v2 workflow. The Film Stocks user interface has also been upgraded with Retina display support for Mac as well as three new masking types: Path, Snap and Selection. OFX plug-in support has also been added, making Film Stocks compatible with digital intermediate programs Assimilate Scratch and Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve, the Foundry's Nuke compositing software and the Sony Vegas non-linear editing system.
Light v4.0
Light can be added to a scene where none existed before just as if you were adding light at the time of shooting. Gobos (patterns) are widely used by designers in theatre, film, photography and television to create atmosphere, project scenery, and generally enhance the visual impact of their lighting. Normally used in front of lights during photography, these same exact gobos can be now applied digitally. In addition to the 565 Gam gobos, Light v4.0 adds 1300 Rosco gobos. A new user interface, filter layering, seven masking types, Lightroom plug-in, GPU acceleration, and Mac Retina display support round out the list of new features.
Rays v2.0
Create stunning and realistic light ray effects quickly and easily. Known as volumetric lighting in computer graphics or crepuscular rays in atmospheric optics, this dramatic effect adds polish and style. New features for Rays v2 include a user definable light source to generate rays, texture to give the rays a more natural and organic look, and ray blurring. The Rays user interface has also been upgraded with Retina display support for Mac in addition to layering and seven masking types for photo plug-in hosts. Rays is also available as an OFX plug-in with support for digital intermediate programs Assimilate Scratch and Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve, the Foundry's Nuke compositing software and the Sony Vegas non-linear editing system.
