 Shade/Shape generates 3D models from your 2D graphical and picture elements using RE:Vision's powerful and proprietary shading-from-shape technology. The models are then lit and rendered in true 3D. Add further detailing to your 3D models by applying reflection and bump maps. As 2D elements merge and split in a sequence, Shade/Shape automatically merges and splits the geometry .
Compatible with Adobe's After Effects 5.0 and later, Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0 or later, Apple's Final Cut Pro 4.0 or later, Autodesk's combustion 2.1 or later, eyeon's Fusion 4.04e or later, 5.02 or later, and Quantel's generationQ product line. See website for exact compatibility requirements.
Great for: - Adding depth, shading and metallic luster to your titles and logos
- Developing cool effects and abstract transitions
- Soft shading on 2D hand-drawn animation
- Adding natural 3D shading to existing image sequences
Features: - Automatic 3D model creation
- 3D lighting and rendering
- Bump mapping
- Environment mapping
- Stable and smooth-over-time shading produced for moving imagery
New to Shade/Shape 3.0:- Adds support for unclamped floating point processing in After Effects 7.0 and up.
- More aggressive multi-threading for faster rendering.
- Shade/Shape adds support for applying bump mapping after reflection mapping. In After Effects 7.0 and up, bump mapping can be applied using the current image with effects pre-applied over it in the same layer.
- Shade/Shape allows ambient and diffuse intensities to go below 0 for special effects (e.g.: shadow pass).
- Shade/Normals changes the behavior of -1 to 1 normals mapping in Shade From Normals for better handling of CG generated surface normals (this affects diffuse channel and reflection mapping), this combined with the light Z-direction now ranging from -1 to 1 allows a complete light rotation around the object.
- Normals adds edge detection support to produce better anti-aliasing for inner shapes boundaries.
- Combustion and FCP will encounter problems loading old projects. FCP and combustion users will need to apply new instances of Shade/Shape to get the new features.
