Flame
Flame and Flame Premium are being equipped with new look-development tools including Lightbox, an interactive GPU shader toolkit for 3D color correction, as well as “Matchbox in Action”, which allows interactive Matchbox shaders to be used as a texture without having to leave the 3D compositing scene. The color-management workflow has also been optimized.
In addition, Autodesk has integrated Shotgun more closely into Flame, making it easier to send shots to other applications and load Shotgun projects into Flame, and the Flame Desktop has been revised. Other new Flame features include new interactive performance for the player and foreground export, as well as an improved batch workflow.
Here is everything about the Flame family on the Autodesk website.
