Eyeon Software announced the long awaited release of their latest version of Fusion’s new Supercomputing compositing software for Linux and Windows.

“Fusion 6.1’s extensive supercomputing approach utilizes the powerful, low-cost GPU to create assets and layers in real time. The extensive tool set that imports scenes from 3D animation packages allows for a much tighter integrated workflow between departments and applications. This open flexibility also increases industry support for technologies such as RenderMan® and RED® Camera MYSTERIUM X™. Relighting and sophisticated finishing offer more control and transparent collaboration between the compositing artists. OpenCL supercomputing is a fresh and innovative use of today’s massively parallel GPU. By speeding up computationally extensive operations such as Defocus, Fusion 6.1 allows the artist to instantly visualize sophisticated mathematical operations that compile code on-the-fly for use by the new generation graphics cards.”

Open thinking Fusion 6.1 answers all production trends. Some of the new features include:

• OpenCL GPU Supercomputing
• RenderMan® support
• Python scripting
• RED® camera MYSTERIUM X™ support
• Particle system and geometry enhancements
• Particle caching
• Relighting enhancements
• Full importing of scenes with matched animation curves
• Importing of stereo cameras
• FBX multi level materials support from all major 3D applications
• Film Grain tool
• Hue Curves and colour suppression tool
• Local file caching options
• Increased metadata support
• Coordinate transfer modifier enhancements

eyeon is also pleased to announce that Rotation is on the new Fusion 6.1 architecture. A full feature update of Vision will be available once Fusion 6.1 upgrades and subscription renewals are well underway. For more information, please visit Eyeon.
