 Autodesk Combustion

Autodesk Combustion 2008 software is the latest version of its desktop compositing and visual effects solution. Combustion offers digital media artists an easy-to-use interface, non-destructive workflow and extensive toolset.
Comprehensive desktop software for motion graphics, compositing, and visual effects.
Composite 3D animations you create in Autodesk 3ds Max Autodesk VIZ AND Autodesk Maya software with live footage or imagery. Create broadcast quality effects, transitions and titling to give your visualisation animation a professional look. Fine-tune the results without the need to re-render your 3D scene. Autodesk Combustion software is an all-in-one professional compositing application designed to work seamlessly with 3ds Max, Maya and Autodesk VIZ.

Key features and capabilities include:

New—The Colour Warper™ color correction tool made famous as part of the Autodesk® Flame® software system is now available in Autodesk® Combustion® 2008, along with improvements to Schematic and updated interoperability with Adobe® Photoshop® and Adobe® Illustrator® software programs.

Powerful creative tools—Combustion provides in-context access to motion graphics, industry-leading 3D compositing, color correction, image stabilization, vector paint and roto, text effects, short-form editing, expressions, Flash® output, and much more.

Artist-friendly interface—Combustion features Autodesk Media & Entertainment’s unified and easy-to-use interface, including multiple-screen, in-context design work; easy navigation; and a schematic node-based view—all designed to get you to your destination quicker and easier.

Broad interoperability—Combustion delivers unmatched integration with industry-standard 3D animation, imaging, and illustration software, including Autodesk® 3ds Max® animation software, Autodesk® Cleaner® encoding software, and Autodesk® Flint®, Autodesk® Inferno®, Autodesk® Fire®, Autodesk® Smoke®, and Flame systems.

Diamond Keyer—Employ a new level of advanced keying technology with the second generation of sophisticated keying algorithms derived from the Flame system.

Timewarp—Quickly create slow-motion and speed-up effects with a fully key-frameable, time-remapping operator.
B-spline vector shapes and new point-grouping—Achieve faster, more efficient rotoscoping. Remove fine image detail for a smoothing effect that can simulate motion or a blurred speed look.

Custom capsules—Create and save encapsulated single or grouped operator nodes and build a library of effects to share and re-use.

Gbuffer builder—Build custom Rich Pixel Format (RPF) data structures from bitmap files for more extensive use of Combustion RPF nodes.

Merge operator—Quickly merge two layers of the same size using any Combustion transfer node.

Interface enhancements—Enjoy enhanced edit-operator, navigation, filtering, and compare-tool improvements, just to name a few.

File import/export options—Import images into color mixer, import ASE (ASCII Scene Export) camera targets from Autodesk® 3ds Max® software, import Windows Media® technologies, and export OpenEXR-compatible output.

Paint—paint tools, grids and rulers, B-spline in paint, and customized brushes.
