The team developed the Auto Clean Plate tool during the last feature film productions in order to be able to remove non-static objects from an image set or sequences of images more quickly. Superpose is a good first step for clean plates, and the tool is particularly suitable for shots with a large number of moving objects such as rain, snow or cars. In contrast to other comparable tools, according to the Keller.io team, Superpose does not leave any ghost shadows in the image, but analyses every pixel and correctly calculates the missing background based on these pixel values. The more images the tool has as input, the better it works. Furthermore, many Superpose nodes can be combined for different settings in different image areas.
The watermarked demo version is free, a single-node licence is available for 99 euros, 5 RLM floating licences cost 399 euros and 20 RLM floating licences 699 euros. The Clean Tool is currently available for Nuke 8 and 9 and is compatible with Windows or Linux 64-bit.
Here you can find all further information about Superpose for Nuke and you can also download the trial version of the Clean Plate Tool.
In the meantime, a version for After Effects has also been released – more information can be found on the Keller.io website.
Keller.io is a studio from Munich that has already worked on “Das kleine Gespenst”(see DP 07 : 2014) and offers VFX work as well as lidar scanning services and software development.
