NewTek, a provider of 3D animation
and video products, and InterSense Inc., a provider of precision
motion technology, announced the creation of an off-the-shelf
3D virtual production system: LightWave 10 with VCam.
By integrating NewTek's next generation LightWave 3D software
with the InterSense patented virtual camera technology, creators
of 3D films and games are able to model, animate, render,
scout and set shots with one, complete solution.
Being demonstrated at SIGGRAPH 2010, in NewTek's booth H#337,
LightWave 10 with VCam lets users create unprecedented realism
in a real time virtual environment by combining physical camera
moves within a model to render software solution.
NewTek LightWave 10 in addition to integration with the InterSense
VCam, provides production proven modeling, rendering and animation
capabilities with new interactive display and rendering functions,
data interchange enhancements, immersive real-time and game
capabilities, Bullet rigid body dynamics, and new UV mapping
tools.
InterSense's VCam delivers organic, real-time virtual camera
tracking which makes it easy to scout virtual locations, frame
shots, and quickly shoot, re-shoot and produce virtual content.
VCam helps artists achieve immersive real-time visualization
results that are virtually unattainable with traditional methods.
What normally takes days of pre-programming and key framing
3D camera motions, now happens interactively.
"There's no question that 3D technology is one of the
hottest topics in film and game making, but accessibility
continues to be an issue," said Rob Powers, vice president,
3D development, NewTek. "NewTek and InterSense have changed
that with LightWave 10 featuring VCam integration. I'm excited
to bring my knowledge and experience in virtual production
for films like "Avatar" and "Tintin" to
help create a solution that takes 3D to the next level by
making this technology available to everyone. We've done that
with LightWave 10."
"With LightWave and VCam, we can put more control and
creative freedom back in the hands of directors, producers
and VFX supervisors while ensuring that more of the production
budget stays on the screen," said Dean Wormell, director
of applications marketing, InterSense. "Together, we
hope to open up a new world of immersive virtual production
for independent filmmakers and game developers worldwide."
