Finally, use Kaydara’s award-winning Voice Reality™ technology to lip-sync your characters in real-time. New to FiLMBOX 2.5.2 This section gives a quick run-down of the following new features and enhancements in the maintenance release of FiLMBOX 2.5.2: AVI Audio Rendering - A bug in FiLMBOX Studio prevented the processing of AVI files with audio (Renderer). This problem has been fixed. AVI files are now processed with the audio specified in the Media tool. Full-Screen View - The mouse pointer is now hidden when you switch to full-screen view (Ctrl-S). Lightwave 6.0 Endomorph 1.30 - FiLMBOX Studio 2.5.2 supports Lightwave 6.0 Endomorph 1.30. You should make the necessary adjustment when loading Lightwave 6.0 files. For example, when using Voice Reality with Lightwave 6.0, you no longer use Morph-Targets or Gizmos for your facial animation, as discussed on page 497 of the FiLMBOX Studio 2.5 User’s Guide. Lightwave 6.0 now uses EndoMorphs for shape animation. EndoMorphs are exported in Lightwave object files (.lwo). Live Video and VideoSync (SGI) - Live video input and video synchronization have been greatly improved. SDK enhancements - Routines for live optical capture and writing data packets along a network (writedatagram) have been improved. Textures and Media - A bug in FiLMBOX Studio prevented textures and media from being found after reloading. In FiLMBOX Studio 2.5.2, when you select a missing texture’s path, FiLMBOX attempts to find all other missing textures at the new path. In most cases, all missing textures and media are found, but there may be a delay while the list of media and textures are updated. Vicon File Support (c3d) - Support for the Vicon C3D format has been greatly improved. Video Clips - The Play mode for playing video clips has been optimized. ========================================== 2.0 Support for LightWave 6.0 FiLMBOX 2.5 now supports Lightwave 5.5/5.6 Scene, Object and gizmo files, as well as the following 6.0 Plug-ins: ========================================== 2.1 Lightwave 6.0 Scene Files (.lws) 1) Import FiLMBOX 2.5 only supports Lightwave 6.0 scene files for importing and exporting. All object files (.lwo) MUST be loaded into Lightwave 6.0 Layout and saved as a scene file (.lws), then imported into FiLMBOX. 2) Export In FiLMBOX 2.5, you MUST “merge back” with the original Lightwave 6.0 scene file (.lws) that you imported into FiLMBOX. Making a backup of this scene file is strongly recommended, since it will enable you to start the export operation over again. =========================================== 2.2 Lightwave 6.0 Object Files (.lwo) 1) SubPatch Objects SubPatch objects are not yet visible as a SubPatch surface (coming soon); FiLMBOX 2.5 shows a SubPatch object as its polygon mesh source. The object file (.lwo) is unaffected and is still a SubPatch object when you “merged back” to Lightwave. For the moment, the only way to get the SubPatch resolution of your object in FiLMBOX is to “Freeze” the SubPatch object in Lightwave 6.0 Modeler to make it a polygon mesh. 2) Materials Multiple materials are supported. 3) Textures Only UV textures are supported. Other mapping methods give bizarre results. Only use one texture per object. 4) TRS Animation Translations, Rotations and Scaling animation is supported for importing and exporting. Imported keyframes from Lightwave 6.0 do not have handles. 5) Bones Bone animation is supported for importing and exporting. 6) Weighting Standard Bone weighting is supported.Lightwave 6.0 Weight Maps are not supported in FiLMBOX. 7) EndoMorphs EndoMorphs used with Lightwave 6.0 MorphMixer v.1.28 are supported in FiLMBOX 2.5, although the MorphMixer v.1.30 (upgrade 6.0b of Lightwave) is not yet supported. Note: Bone and Morph animations are both supported at the same time on the same object. ========================================= 2.3 Lightwave 6.0 Lights Multiple Lights are supported for importing and exporting. Translation and Rotation animation is supported. Certain Light envelopes are supported in FiLMBOX: Color, Intensity and Cone Angle. The other envelopes are not seen in FiLMBOX, but will stay intact when you "merge back" to Lightwave. Lights imported into FiLMBOX are represented as follows: - LW6 Point Light = FB Point Light - LW6 Spot Light = FB Spot Light - LW6 Distant Light = FB Infinite Light - LW6 Linear Light = FB Point Light - LW6 Area Light = FB Point Light All lights keep their original light type when you "merge back" to Lightwave. ========================================= 2.4 Lightwave 6.0 Cameras Multiple Cameras are supported for importing and exporting. Translation and Rotation animation is supported. Camera envelopes are not yet supported in FiLMBOX, but will stay intact when you "merge back" to Lightwave. =========================================== 2.5 Future Developments in Lightwave 6.0 support The following features are under development, and will be included in future releases of FiLMBOX Studio. - Object Import/Export capability - SubPatch object support in FiLMBOX - Cubic, Spherical and Cylindrical Texture mapping - Weight Maps for bone deformations - MorphMixer v.1.30 support - Import/Export Camera Zoom Factor envelops ============================================ 3.0 NLE The following is a list of the enhancements made to NLE in the Animation tool: 1) Local Button The Local button, located in the Edits Pane, lets you designate whether the blend you are performing is a General blend (body to body) or a Local blend (body part to body). 2) Translation and Speed Fields Translation and Speed fields are located in each track’s take box. Use these fields to specify a translation offset or speed scale increment for each track. 3) NLE Function Buttons A new pane to the right of the NLE editor contains options and buttons that have replaced the right-clicking functionality and contextual menus of the Cut Area. The buttons are the following: - Insert Track & Remove Track - Insert Cut & Remove Cut - Toggle Loop Mode (for cuts) - Match Pivot - Clear Pivot - Snap On Frame - Force Time - Adjust Start&End (timecode) ============================================== 4.0 Media Tool 1) Thumbnails In the Video pane, you can now view media as thumbnails. 2) Remapping All Media If the path for media is changed, you can remap all media by changing the path for the first video clip or image. 3) Deck Control A new panel in the Media tool lets you add deck control. Version 2.5 only supports Sony 9 Pin VTR. =============================================== 5.0 New Shaders The following shaders have been added to the Rendering tool of FiLMBOX v2.5. These shaders can be applied to objects or scenes in an animation to produce reflection, shadow or Z objects (3D mattes). =============================================== 5.1 Reflection Shader The Reflection shader lets you apply reflection to an object or scene. The shader features are: 1) Reflection Type Options Select one of the following reflection types: - Live Planar Reflection: Plane reflecting moving objects. - Live Planar Reflection On Video: Plane reflecting moving objects during a live video feed. - Spherical Map: Object reflecting scene. - Sphere Map: Object reflecting scene. Fixed camera position. 2) Reflection Intensity Sets the amount of reflection applied. 3) Map Generation Lets you generate a map of the selected or all the objects with the reflection shader applied, or for only the selected object. 4) Map Size Sets the generated map size. The selected map size determines the resolution of the map. ================================================ 5.2 Shadow Map Shader The Shadow shader lets you apply shadow to an object or scene. The shader features are: 1) Shadow Intensity Sets the amount of shadow applied. 2) Map Generation Lets you generate a map of the objects with the reflection shader applied. The generation types are: - Generate Map for Selection - Generate Map (for all objects with shader applied) - Generate Preview Map for Selection - Generate Preview Map (for all objects with shader applied) 3) Map Size Sets the generated map size. 4) Light Area Sample Count Sets the amount of light area to be sampled. The more light area sampled, the higher the resolution of the generated map. 5) Light Area Radius Sets the light radius distribution. ================================================ 5.3 Z Shader Use the Z Shader to create a 3D matte for a scene. When Z Shader is applied to a model, the model is turned into a colorless 3D matte. A 3D matte has depth, and is therefore respected by all other 3D objects in the scene. A 3D matte lets you block out parts of a scene, that are later replaced by video footage. ================================================ 6.0 Character Tool Enhancements FiLMBOX 2.5 includes the following additions and enhancements to the Character Tool: 6.1 Left and right glove support 6.2 Automatic offset control 6.3 Simplified plotting data and control set creation 6.4 Enhanced control over advanced mapping options ================================================ 6.1 Cyberglove Support In FiLMBOX 2.5, the Character tool lets you connect glove devices to control the left and right hands of your Actor. This lets you add realistic hand and finger movement. Gloves may be set as live devices or contain recorded data. In this version, only Cyberglove is supported. Future versions may support other glove manufacturers. ================================================ 6.2 Plotting Animation and Creating Control Sets Plotting data to a character and creating control sets has been simplified in FiLMBOX version 2.5. To automatically plot or create a control set, use the following procedure: 1) Use the Character tool to map data from an optical or magnetic source to a character model. 2) In the Character pane, click the Plot Animation button. A dialog appears asking you if you want to plot data to the character, to a control set, or cancel the operation. - Character Select to plot the data from the optical or magnetic source to the character model. The data is plotted to the character on the current take. NOTE: This option only appears if your character’s source is set to Actor Input. - Control Set Select to create a control set. This option creates a hierarchy of nulls and red markers containing the plotted data. The source type is changed to the new hierarchy (Control Set In) and the source is changed to the created control set. The new control set lets you create keyframe animation over your capture data without altering the original data. - Cancel Click Cancel to abort plotting data to the character or a control set. ============================================= 6.3 Automatic Offset Control If you characterize your character when it is not in a proper stance pose, you can use the Automatic Offset pull-down menu at the bottom of the General pane to add offsets which corrects arms, legs, or hands to the proper stance pose. Click the Undo Offset button to undo this correction. The Automatic Offset Control options are as follows: 1) Arms Corrects both arms. 2) Legs Corrects legs, adjusting any gap that may have been modelled between the legs. 3) Hands Corrects hands used when mapping gloves to your character. ================================================= 6.4 Advanced Mapping Options FiLMBOX 2.5 includes the following additions and enhancements to the Advanced pane in the Character Tool: 6.4.1 Saving and restoring sets of advanced options 6.4.2 Special Mapping Node ================================================= 6.4.1 Saving and Restoring Advanced Options The new Advanced Set field (at the top of the Advanced pane in the Character pane) lets you duplicate, rename, restore, or delete the current set of advanced mapping options. The current advanced options are shown in the Advanced pane. Beside the Advanced Set field, a series of buttons let you perform the following actions: 1) Duplicate Creates a new Advanced set based on the current. The new set is named “” and is selected. 2) Delete Deletes the current set of advanced options. 3) Rename Lets you rename the current set of advanced options. 4) Restore Restores the default advanced options replacing the current set of advanced options. ================================================== 6.4.2 Special Mapping Node The new Special list of mapping nodes is available when setting-up your character. The Special list contains a single node, Hips Translation, that lets you define a second null, bone, or node for your model’s hip translation. Use the Hips Translation node if your model uses two nulls, bones, or nodes to control your model’s hips. When you specify a Hips Translation node, the selected node is sent the hips translation data and the original hips node (Hips in the Base list) is sent the hips rotation. If you do not specify a Hips Translation node, both translation and rotation data is sent to the Hips node. ================================================== 6.5 Batch Processing in the Character Tool The Character tool contains a new Batch pane that lets you: - Load different files of the same format into the same scene, and apply the data to the selected character - Save all takes mapped to the selected character to separate motion files - Convert files from one format to another using the selected character. Before using the Batch pane, you must have mapped data to a character using one of the data files that you want to load or convert. When you import a motion file and map its motion to an Actor and then a Character, you are creating a guide for the Batch pane to convert the other data files. For example, you have four motion files stored in Motion Analysis TRC format and you want to convert these files to Acclaim AMC format. To convert each manually, you would have to load each Motion Analysis TRC motion file, map the data to an Actor and then a Character, plot the data to the Character, and then export each Character as an Acclaim AMC file. The Batch pane simplifies this process by letting you base all conversion on a single mapped Character. To convert the same four Motion Analysis TRC files mentioned above, you only need to load the first Motion Analysis TRC file and map its data to an Actor and then a Character. You can then use the character as a guide to automatically convert the remaining motion files to the Acclaim AMC format. As with converting, if you are saving takes, all takes must contain data mapped to the same character. All data files or takes must be from the same capture session, or from the same device. ===================================================== 7.0 Enhancements FiLMBOX v2.5 includes the following enhancements: 1) Importing and Exporting You can now import and export files at a selected frame rate. When you import or export a data format file, a dialog appears which lets you set the frame rate. 2) Video In/Out for SGI 540/ONXY systems FiLMBOX now supports Video input and output for SGI 540/ONXY systems.
