Maya Composite
Paint—Retouch images and mattes. Work with multiple layers, reveals, clones, blend modes, and custom brushes. See your painted results immediately in-context with your composition and get your effects work finished faster. Painted frames are automatically shared and usable by Maya Composite collaborators, even on remote workstations.
3D Control - Reaction—the 3D compositing super tool—and the animation editors help you to create your compositions with speed and precision. The unique Maya Composite gestural user interface paradigm helps streamline the process of manipulating elements within the 3D environment. Relevant information and common commands are quickly accessible in the curve and track editors, streamlining the animation process.
Interoperability—Automatically generate and update compositions based on Render Layer and Render Pass setups provided by Autodesk Maya. Create 32-bit OpenEXR images in Maya and then easily bring them in and manipulate them within Maya Composite for realistic color and lighting details.
Image processing—Quickly and precisely control the look of your image with a wide range of effects and workflow tools, including warping and lens distortion, dust removal, filters, grain/degrain, and slate tools.
Data management—Effectively manage your project data. Maya Composite features efficient archiving of media and composition files for backup, offline, and near-line storage. Intelligent dependency tracking allows compositions to be restored with alternative paths, giving you flexibility in managing storage and workstation resources. Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path support enables you to access files and directories across your network. A hierarchical bookmarking system makes links to footage, projects, and compositions easy to save and access.
Color correction—The histogram and Photo Lab interactive HDR color correctors, along with a host of color management tools, help give you better control over exposure settings as well as shadow and highlight details—so you can work with images more efficiently.
Keying and rotoscoping—Get more precise keying results, more quickly. The intelligently designed Maya Composite keying toolset, including the Keyer Super Tool, combines sophisticated keying technology with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.
Advanced 2D tracking—High-speed, interactive tracking technology enables fast, smooth image stabilization and matching of elements to moving objects.
High-quality renders—Create unsurpassed 2D and 3D renders using the Maya Composite renderer, with its proprietary Jinc filter. Support for network rendering and the Autodesk® Backburner™ render management system helps in efficiency when it comes time to render.
Smart collaboration—Collaborate with confidence. The Maya Composite file-based data model, including versioning functionality, enables you to keep track of multiple iterations of a file; plus, the software can be set up to notify team members working simultaneously on linked compositions within a project when updates are made by another user.
Extensibility—Work the way you want. Support for the OpenFX application programming interface (API) and integrated Python® scripting language enables you to customize and extend Maya Composite to fit into your pipeline.
Camera Tracking
Autodesk® MatchMover™ delivers industry-leading 3D camera tracking, and is now available with Maya 2010.
Push-Button Matchmoving: provides the most advanced automatic 3D tracking on the market; this easy-to-use feature can be used with supervised tracking to handle complex shots.
Using this toolset, you can extract accurate 3D camera and motion data from video and film sequences.
Advanced Matchmoving: delivers precision manual controls that enable you to create a unique 3D reference system for your camera and 3D content.
Advanced workflows can be based on filtering and fine tuning of tracking parameters, tracking from multiple footage and stills, tracking of moving objects, 3D-constrained tracking, and 3D tracking constrained by motion control data.
3D set layout supports combined MatchMover/ Autodesk® ImageModeler™ workflows: for image-based design visualizations.
