Autodesk Media &
Entertainment is pleased to announce the availability of an extension release
and service pack for Autodesk® Flame®.
The new 2007
Extension 1 release delivers a new automatic 3D Tracker, a Lens distort
tool and
numerous workflow
improvements including QuickTime support; as well as the New Lustre® Color
Management feature, which ensures that everyone
across the Autodesk Systems products pipeline* is working with and approving
images with the same color values.
Here’s what Jake
Parker, Senior Flame Artist and VFX Supervisor at Fischer Edit had to say about
Flame 2007 Extension 1:
“This sort of
expansion and refinement of Flame's toolset is one of the things that will keep
it the premier choice for high-end VFX.”
Further information
about the new features in the 2007 Extension 1 release is available in the New
Features Guide. Please refer to this on-line version, as the New
Features Guide installed with your software is out-of-date.
