More tools for motion artists.
San Diego, CA - March 14,
2012 PD Pro 7.2 Howler is a fast digital painting and animation program made by an artist for professionals alike. It is loaded with numerous features used in visual effects and the film industry for post work, matte painting and traditional animation. This release also adds a new Motion Prediction module. "It continues our recent development of tools for motion FX artists", said Ritchie. What's New in PD Pro 7.2 Howler? * Multi-monitor support is added. We now have improved support for multiple monitors. Windows and most controls now open and stay on the correct monitor * Changes in the Graphical User Interface. New icons, and a darker, more immersive GUI. You can select different color schemes to suit your preference. * Introducing the Motion prediction module. Our most compute-intensive filter yet! With it you can analyze the motion in a video to create slow motion versions from regular (fast) video. Stop-motion artists could also use it to introduce selective motion blur into their work. * The re-invented Timeline Editor. The time-line is re-imagined and re-implemented. It was always a powerful tool. Now it's a snap to work with. There are some new filters too. Compositing frame sequences now supports multiple file formats. * New animation options for 3D Designer: move along X, Y and Z axes- see extruded text vanishing into deep space * Faster loading of image sequences * Broader file support for compositing with image sequences. * Broader use of Processor SSE2 acceleration and threading. * Enhanced Curve Tool: There's a new B-spline option (toggle) for curve editing. * Applying Mirror transform to animation All frames of an animation can be forced through the current mirror settings. * Frame editing options added: Select all, Delete Block... * miscellaneous optimizations and bug fixes.
