INTRODUCING SHAKE 3
Advanced Digital Compositing.
The industry-standard compositing and effects solution for film and HD now comes with an unlimited network rendering on Mac OS X.
Shake has been used on so many of the Academy Award winning films for Best Visual Effects over the past six years - all of them, in fact - and is required courseware at so many major film schools worldwide, that listing its credits would require several pages. Shake's reputation as the affordable high-end post-production solution for film and video professionals is about to get another big boost. Because with the inclusion of unlimited network render licenses and render management software on Mac OS X, visual effects artists can now distribute rendering tasks across multiple PowerPC G4-based Macintosh computers.
Superior workflow
Shake 3 uses an intuitive, tree-based compositing model that gives artists access to any part of the composite at any time. This flexible, nonlinear workflow allows users to make critical creative and technical decisions at any point in the compositing process.
Unique effects technology
Shake 3 includes-production proven visual effects tools such as layering, tracking, rotoscoping, painting, color correction and new film grain simulation. Built-in keying capabilities include Photron Primatte and CFC Keylight, two industry-leading professional keyers. For additional flexibility, Shake supports third-party plug-ins such as The Foundry, GenArts, Ultimatte and more.
Powerful compositing engine
The resolution-independent, hybrid scan line/tile-based render engine allows composites to contain standard-definition (SD), high-definition (HD) and film images simultaneously. Artists can choose to process operations at 8-, 16-, or 32-bit (float) color resolution, enabling HDR images to be composited with greater fidelity while maintaining overall performance.
