In nuce: Autodesk’s Flame product family now runs via the AWS (Amazon Web Services) cloud. According to the associated press release, the combination of Flame and AWS should enable creative professionals to send professionally created content quickly and securely at the same time – worldwide. But that’s not all: In the same press release, Autodesk also announced new features for Flame, Flare and Flame Assist. You can find out exactly what these are below.
Autodesk via AWS: According to Steve McNeill, Head of Engineering at Autodesk, the networking of Flame with AWS Cloud supports creative teams, especially at critical stages in the work process – for example during crunch time, “without the need to purchase additional hardware”, as stated in the press release.
What’s new with Flame: What’s changing with the Flame update? Find out using the key points below:
- Flame with AWS: Autodesk’s Flame product family now also works in the AWS Cloud, which means a wide range of computing and storage services. According to the press release, this gives creative teams access to high-performance hardware. This would eliminate the need for teams to purchase new, expensive hardware.
- Access Flame worldwide: Thanks to AWS, artists around the world can connect to Flame, for example via Teradici’s CAS Manager, which enables remote working in a matter of minutes. In addition, data storage via Weka should function securely and in real time.
- Improved animation editor: The updated animation editor panel provides artists with many new options for editing curves. In addition, framing and filtering should now be more intuitive. In other words, fine-tuning, even of points within complex graphs, should now work better. The labelling of drop-down menus and buttons has also been simplified.
- Improved HDR user interface: Autodesk has responded to the increasing demand for HDR workflows and has therefore added an option that aligns Flame’s user interface specifically to HDR monitors.
- Support for Apple’s M-series processors – works via Rosetta 2: This should improve performance when working with M-processors.
- Compatibility with Rocky Linux 8.5: As part of this, the RAW camera formats such as RED, Blackmagic RAW and Sony X-OCN of the VENICE 2 6K and 8K cameras have also been updated.
