LegendD and SGO Co-Develop Ground-Breaking D to D Conversion Innovation

Significant New Mistika Advancements Enhance Production Workflows in Real Time

Following a successful and ongoing co-development partnership with leading Hollywood stereo VFX company Legend3D, SGO is proud to announce that Mistika is now fully integrated within Legend's unrivaled 2D to 3D conversion process and digital asset management system.

This co-development resulted in a new Depth Grade node in Mistika, which accepts and utilizes data created by Legend3D's market-leading conversion process to interactively design the depth of a given scene in real-time. As the conversion data is passed through the Mistika, each 3D scene can be flawlessly fine-tuned, using Mistika's already proven and highly-advanced stereo optimization features in conjunction with the Depth Grade node, eliminating unnecessary artist iterations. From designing a director's 3D story at the beginning of a feature, to approving large volumes of shots that require an accelerated conversion time frame towards the end, the Depth Grade node will completely redefine the creative and schedule implications for 3D VFX and Conversion work.

Jared Sandrew, CCO, Legend3D

Jared Sandrew, Legend3D's Chief Creative Officer states, It is an incredible experience to collaborate with innovative Directors that care about how their story is told in 3D. With our depth grading process, we are able to dial in the stereo with a Filmmaker in the room in real-time resulting in 100% depth approval upon first viewing. This allows us to interactively show multiple versions of a 3D experience in continuity with the filmmaker.

This is a real game-changer for the 2D to 3D conversion industry and provides Legend3D with a huge competitive advantage so that they can offer something unique to their clients. Geoff Mills, Director of SGO's Global Sales and Operations confirms. This new capability of allowing converted material to be creatively and interactively manipulated in front of the director or stereographer in real time, to achieve the desired creative depth for a given scene, significantly speeds up the entire conversion process. This is an exciting time for both of our companies and we have more announcements to follow.

SGO's CEO Miguel Angel Doncel adds, SGO has earned the reputation as the dominant Stereo 3D force, and it is very rewarding to see Mistika integrated into Legend3D's unique conversion pipeline with customized configurations. We enjoy a close and special relationship with the team at Legend3D and look forward to working together on more exciting developments in the future.
