本插件是由artixels机构出品的Nuke用于高级2.5D照明Escher插件V1.0.1版,Artixels Escher v1.0.1 For Nuke 6.3 and Nuke 7.0 Win64,大小:40 MB,支持Nuke6.3与7.0软件版本,支持Win64位系统,语言:英语。
ARTIXELS公布了其首个视觉特效(VFX)插件系列—Escher,计划在2012年12月推出正式版。Escher共涵盖了8个核心插件,主要用于高级2.5D照明,同时还包括2个图像生成插件,以及Foundry Nuke 10个完整图像轨迹组合。用于图像合成平台的入选轨迹将在此后公布。
此外,Escher还为光探测器图像投影以及朗伯描影技术提供了球函数(SH)处理节点,超过6组SH系数,能植入于元数据流和OpenEXR文件中。同时,该系列插件还加入图像空间闭合描影,以及运用了基于图像处理深度贴图的假皮材质描影节点。其中,多种实用节点可用于3D标准数据、深度数据,以及形态抗锯齿的处理。
Escher还为设计师附带了图像生成插件,通过该插件,制作人员可凭借无限的创造能力渲染出水下动态形态的焦散线样式;同时,他们还可借助另一节点实现照片仿真级别的天空渲染。这两个插件都已被高度优化,以此带给制作者们流畅的创作体验,实现交互最大化。
可支持的操作平台
Nuke Escher插件可与64 位Windows或64位Linux操作系统的Foundry Nuke 6.3兼容,并且根据市场运作情况,未来也可能与MacOS X系统兼容。
Artixels Escher v1.0.1 For Nuke 6.3 and Nuke 7.0 Win64
Escher for Nuke is a suite of image generators and 2.5D creative tools designed for Nuke compositors who are looking for tools to explore the creative possibilities stashed between 2D and 3D. Spherical Harmonics lighting tools, Depth-based Ambient Occlusion, Advanced glossy shader and powerful 2.5D data processing nodes of Escher enable creative 3D image making in a different way while taking full advantage of the organic nature of 2D image processing and manipulation. Escher’s powerful real-time image generator nodes SkyWalker and Caustix are perfect light sources for image based lighting workflow.
Escher relies on 2.5D images input, both depth images (or gray-scale images) and 3D normal map images are regarded as 2.5D images to Escher. Depth image is interpreted by Escher as the distance of each pixel from the camera, so it essentially contains information more than just a plain 2D image. Normal map image provides the normal vector direction of each pixel which is good enough for shading purpose.
