SGO Releases Mamba FX Version .0

SGO has made another significant development upgrade to its compositing software, Mamba FX in version 2.0, providing advanced additional features which give compositors infinite opportunities and possibilities to enhance their creativity. Redefining VFX and rapidly evolving, Mamba FXs new toolsets extends the existing SGO product line and draws on Mistikas powerful compositing and image quality technology, as well as adding a host of innovative features and functionality.

One of the key highlights in Mamba FX 2.0 is the Layer Route Effect, providing support and associated functions for working with multi-layer EXR files. These files are capable of carrying multiple streams of images as well as metadata, in a single file. They are commonly used to hold multiple render passes from CGI software, or to carry multiple matte or alpha channels. Mamba FX 2.0 includes features to split and route the multiple layers,allowing Mamba FXs other compositing tools to act on individual elements during the compositing phase.

Furthermore, Mamba FXs all new Spatial Isolation Keyer interfaces with metadata that can be passed from CGI software via the EXR files. This enables advanced compositing techniques such as isolating elements in a scene by their 3D (XYZ) location, their surface direction (normals), their object ID or their Material ID.

Also new for Mamba FX 2.0 is a high-speed, point cloud shape tracker, which enables compositors to track 2D roto-shapes to shots very quickly. Multiple shapes can be tracked and combined using boolean operations to rapidly create moving matte shapes. Mamba FX 2.0 also includes new colour space conversion tools to aid project colour management including ACES workflows. Other additional features include an adaptive interface for monitor configuration, as well as Dolby EDR support.

CEO of SGO, Miguel Angel Doncel confirms, SGOs development team is dedicated to deliver ever more efficient and flexible VFX workflow management with finely-tuned integration in Mamba FX s version 2.0. The results are a combination of a powerful, node-based VFX finishing suite designed to empower creative artists and provide them with a new way of working - making the impossible possible at affordable rates.
