In nuce: the promise of New Work: flat hierarchies, new office concepts and, of course, the buzzword par excellence – digitalisation. Digitalisation? Yes, Vanishing Point Virtual Production has presented its Antimatter tool, which can automate work steps thanks to digital work processes – in the areas of visual effects and virtual production.
Does Antimatter matter? The tool works on the basis of deep learning. According to the software description, the deep learning technology behind it was trained using thousands of shots from practical film production. How does it work in practice? The user loads a video file or image sequence into the tool – the tool reloads this input as a video file or image sequence from the matte frame. The output is saved as jpg, png, exr (for image files) or mov, mp4, avi (for video files).
Cost & system requirements: A free trial version is available for download. However, this is limited by the possibility of extracting files. The system requirements are a Windows PC with 7 gigabytes of free hard drive space and an Nvidia graphics card from the GTX or RTX series. The full version of Antimatter is priced at £595, which must be paid once – the software is then free to use.
