Blackmagic Fusion, available now also for LinuxNow users can choose the computer platform they prefer, already that this solution for graphic animations and special effects, it will be available.
The solution for special effects Fusion of Blackmagic Design will be starting from now available for platforms Linux.
Now users can choose the computer platform they prefer, since the program is available for Mac OS X, Windows or Linux computers. In this way, it will be possible to work collaboratively with other artists in the same project regardless of the operating system you use.
Blackmagic also announced that Fusion 8.2 can be downloaded free of charge, so that the users have the possibility to start using the program immediately.
This version of the program (for the moment, in Beta version) can be used in any commercial project without any restriction. However, Fusion 8.2 Studio offers a greater number of benefits and is available for just a thousand dollars. This Edition provides an unlimited number of render nodes and other tools to work in collaboration. The most remarkable aspect of Fusion Studio is that additional charges are not required to maintain the validity of the license, store content on the Internet or buy more nodes.
Linux, Mac OS X and Windows
Thanks to the compatibility with Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, the producers have the possibility of carrying out projects in different operating systems and integrating Fusion into the dynamics of work through the use of programming such as Python and Lua languages. On the other hand, the created files can be opened on any of these platforms, which gives users greater flexibility.
Fusion has been one of the favorite tools of Hollywood in terms of special effects and graphics animations for more than 25 years, and has been used in thousands of feature films and television projects, among which Mars, Thor, At the edge of tomorrow and the trilogy of The hunger games, among others.
Fusion provides maximum the creation of special effects, sophisticated very quickly through its innovative nodal interface. Thanks to the great variety of tools integrated, them users have with the possibility of apply masks, perform the tracking of objects, use technical rotoscopicas, retouch images, animate titles and create surprising effects with particles in an area of work three-dimensional.
Fusion can also import models in 3D point clouds, different planes or even three-dimensional scenes in its entirety from other programs such as Maya, 3ds Max or Lightwave and render these elements without errors. On the other hand, tools that take advantage of the additional information contained in the pixels to create depth of field effects allow add or modify volumetric elements, such as fog, lights or reflections of the texture objects rendered using normal maps or positioning passes which facilitate the generation of surprising environments in just seconds.
The source code update
Since Blackmagic Design acquired Fusion a couple of years ago, the companys engineers have made an important update to the source code, thus facilitating learning to new users and at the same time preserving a family look for those people who have used the application before. In this way, the transition is simplified from other programs of special effects to the version of Fusion for Linux.
Fusion 8.2 Studio offers also a free license for an unlimited number of nodes. This allows large studies create stations for rendering free of charge, which allows to significantly reduce the budget in this area to make feature films and high-end television programs.
Unlike other programs of special effects, Fusion does not require you to pay a certain amount of money per render node. When it is necessary to render scenes quickly to meet tight deadlines, simply add more nodes instantly and free of charge.
Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design, has commented that "the Fusion Linux 8.2 version provides experts in special effects and graphic animations a number of tools unprecedented. Fusion is the only comprehensive three-dimensional compositions program which in turn allows you to render 3D models and add volumetric effects, particles and even mobile widgets. And the best thing is that users can download it free today. If you require a greater amount of performance for more complex projects, it is also possible to acquire Fusion 8.2 Studio without paying subscriptions or licenses of rendering. In this way, it facilitates the creation of multinodal platforms to streamline processes with no additional charge ".
Note, finally, that Fusion 8.2 Studio is available in the Blackmagic Design website free of charge for all users that have an electronic key for the version 7.7 or higher.
