Ocula - уникальная коллекция инструментов для NUKE 5.2,
необходимая при работе со стереоскопическими изображениями. Может помочь
художникам/дизайнерам избавиться от многих головных болей при полировке
и усовершенствовании стереоскопического материала. Автоматически
копирует ключевые процессы на левых и правых каналах.
Ocula
is a unique collection of plug-in tools that solve common problems with
stereoscopic imagery, boost productivity in post production, and
ultimately help to deliver a more rewarding stereoscopic viewing
experience. The plug-ins are designed to automatically replicate key
processes on left and right channels and help artists polish and refine
stereoscopic material, literally, removing headaches from the final
viewing experience.

The Foundry has announced the development of Ocula, a unique collection
of plug-ins providing a powerful armoury of tools that solve common
problems with 3D stereoscopic imagery, boost productivity in post
production, and ultimately help to deliver a more rewarding 3D-stereo
viewing experience.
The new plug-ins, previewed at NAB 2008, are
designed to take the headache out of 3D stereo post production by
automatically replicating key processes on left and right channels, and
to remove headaches from the final viewing experience by providing tools
that help artists to polish and refine 3D-stereo material. The Ocula
tools are based on brand new disparity-mapping algorithms, created by
The Foundry’s Academy Award-winning R&D team. Disparity maps track
and correlate the differences in positional space and movement between
corresponding pixels in the left and right cameras, and then deliver
pixel-level control over images. Knowing where disparities occur, Ocula
tools apply corrections by warping, stretching and squeezing only those
areas of an image that require treatment. Image manipulation using
disparity maps is different to the X, Y or Z-axis shifting of images,
where only whole image planes are being shifted. Ocula plug-ins allow
artists to apply a multitude of adjustments to stereo image pairs. All
corrections can be made to the left and right eye channels either
together or separately, and the results of these corrections ultimately
help to minimise or eliminate discomfort from the 3D viewing
experience.Users can correct horizontal alignment issues with Ocula’s
Interocular Distance Shifter. Using disparity map data, a new ‘virtual’
view is created between the original left and right eye positions, with
the result being that objects of different fore, mid and background
depths are resolved more accurately for the viewer. This is different to
an X-axis shift where only the image plane is moved. Ocula’s Vertical
Aligner will automatically attempt to vertically align corresponding
image features in each view, to minimize or eliminate the effect known
as ‘key-stoning’. This is not a single Y-shift for the whole image –
with disparity mapping the correction varies across the entire image.
A
key feature of Ocula plug-ins is the dramatic reduction in the amount
of manual labour required when artists undertake rotoscoping work, paint
effects or other operations dependent on image locality. Many
position-dependent image manipulations can now be applied to just one
eye with paint strokes, keyframed roto masks, and the like being
automatically generated for the other eye, substantially improving
productivity.
Nuke 5 is currently the only visual effects compositing
system with an embedded 3D stereoscopic workflow, where left and right
eye channels can be manipulated separately or together. Ocula plug-ins
will be available for the next point release of Nuke, version 5.1,
expected to be July 2008.Nuke is available on Linux, Windows, and Mac
platforms, and Nuke delivers unparalleled speed, an efficient
multi-channel scanline rendering engine, and powerful feature set
unrivalled in the desktop market. Nuke 5 is available for existing
customers with valid maintenance at no extra cost, and can be downloaded
now from The Foundry website.
