db&w Plugins and LightWave 2019

LightWave 2019 has just been released by Newtek!

We're happy to announce that our complete series of 2018 Plugins is fully compatible with this new release of LightWave 3D. You will be able to install and use them right away.

qckPck 2018

Due to the ability to now search in all pop-ups menus, all qckPck users can benefit from LightWave 2019 right now, allowing for an evening quicker navigation in heavy scenes.

This addition to LightWave 2019 puts qckPck on a whole new level. You can find out more in the next days on our YouTube channel.

exrTrader 2018 / exrTrader Pro 2018

LightWave 2019 adds a few new default buffers/AOVs. Since the list of buffers was already created dynamically in LightWave 2018, exrTrader will be able to pick up the new buffers immediately.

infiniMap 2018, frameD 2018, nodeMeister 2018, db&w Tools 2018

These work as expected in LightWave 2019.

A very Happy New Year 2019

We'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of our finest customers a Happy New Year 2019.

exrTrader / exrTrader Pro 2018.1 is available now

exrTrader120px

We have just released exrTrader and exrTrader Pro 2018.1. exrTrader 2018.1 is a free update for exrTrader 2018.

exrTrader Pro 2018 adds Cryptomatte support to exrTrader.

exrTrader Pro 2018.1

exrTrader Pro adds Cryptomattes to exrTrader.

Cryptomatte480px

Cryptomattes - originally devised by Jonah Friedman and Andy Jones from psyop - allow you to store automatically generated mattes for all items or surfaces in a single OpenEXR image.
These can then be extracted in a compositing application using freely available plugins.

Cryptomatte in exrTrader Pro allows you so save all Cryptomattes in a single or in separate files.
The levels determine how many different mattes may be stored per single pixel. 6 is usually a sufficient number.
You can also decide if the manifest - the file containing the names of the mattes - is stored embedded in the EXR image or as a separate file.
exrTrader also allows you to select any of the OpenEXR compression types that are compatible with Cryptomatte.

Mattes can be extracted in compositing applications using freely available plugins, available both for Nuke or Fusion - a free plugin for After Effects is currently in beta as well.
Cryptomattes combine the mattes with the names of the surfaces or items they store. This allows you to re-use selections across scenes if those names don't change.

exrTrader Pro uses the same plugin file as exrTrader, but requires a new license to unlock the exclusive functionality.

qckPck 2018 released

We have just released qckPck 2018, a navigation system for Lightwave 3D Layout. Its aim is to speed up navigation and common tasks drastically by providing super quick access to often used functionality. 

qckPck 2018 includes a panel optimized for shortcuts coupled with menus optimized for specific tasks, such as opening the surface editor for selected surfaces, picking items or adding and removing plugins.

You will be surprised by how much quicker you will perform your day-to-day tasks in Layout.

nodeMeister updated to version 2018.2

nodeMeister120px

We have just released nodeMeister 2018.2, a free update for nodeMeister.

 

The focus on this release has been the general workflow of using nodeMeister, including presets, working with multiple scenes as well as compatibility with überPass.

One major change is the ability for the nodeMeister node to host a local graph. This makes it behave like a compound - but still allows you to add controls for the inputs of the underlying graph.

You can copy from a local to a global graph or vice versa. This allows you, for example, to create locally use the copy of a global graph if you need it tweaked in one specific case.

The node settings can now be stored in a preset and recalled again. We've also added a button to open the master plugin from the node for convenience.

Presets in the master plugin now allow you to either load a preset as a new graph or replace an existing graph.
To make this possible, the nodeMeister node handles changes in the graphs it references much more robustly.

We have worked closely with Oliver Hotz from Origami Digital to make sure that überPäss and nodeMeister work together seamlessly.
