LogInA new version of Flame, a toolkit for compositing, color grading, and finishing workflows, is now available.
The update is said to add more uses of AI. The team has also added a new GPU-accelerated Physical Defocus effect, plus finishing enhancements to make it easier to adjust looks across many shots, share updates with clients, and more.
First, there's the new Physical Defocus effect that allows users to add depth of field to shots. The effect can be used in Batch as a standalone Matchbox node or in Image Selective in combination with a generated AOV Depth map.
Users can choose between Physical and Action Camera focus models or create custom models by adjusting attributes. "Lens artifacting and radial, chromatic aberration can be customized to achieve the level and quality of out-of-focus blur you want, Depth Slices can be increased and blended for more granularity of focus, and highlights can be bloomed using a selection of Bokeh attributes and lens noise models," noted the team.
There's a new Semantic keyer for feature isolation on the human face for you to extract alpha mattes for skin, eyes, lips, nose, cheeks, chin, and laugh lines.
