In nuce: Assimilate has announced that the two software packages Live FX and Live FX Studio are now available. According to a recent press release, the two packages should be particularly useful for real-time compositing, whether for green screen or virtual production films. Furthermore, the software package is intended to simplify pre-visualisation on the one hand, and on the other hand also simplify VFXs that are created directly in the camera. Those who opt for Live FX or Live FX Studio can look forward to noticeable time and cost savings, as Assimilate puts it. Jeff Edson, CEO of Assimilate, emphasises how important the open beta for Live FX was for the further development of the software.
What’s inside Live FX and Live FX Studio? Below is a brief outline of what users can expect from the two software solutions.
Live FX is primarilyaimed at independent filmmakers who work with green screen. Live FX is designed to enable these creatives to create entire 3D environments in real time and supports camera tracking-based green screen setups (e.g. Intel RealSense, HTC Vive, or Stereolabs ZED2i). The generic FreeD protocol and Open Sound Control are also supported – which captures camera tracking information.
Live FX Studio is a further development of Live FX. With Live FX Studio, users can utilise 3D environments directly in the application – via notch blocks and scenes in USD format. Complex camera tracking solutions such as Ncam or Mo-Sys are also supported. Another feature is multicam support – including remote control of Brompton Tessera LED processors and video router control for AJA and Blackmagic routers.
