FumeFX 2.0?

[jrand]

So I see little hints here and there about 2.0.

Care to drop a carrot?

Really excited to see what you guys have up your sleeves!

[sitnisati]

Well, since release is really close I will just name some new features:

- Wavelet Turbulence
- Retimer
- Final Grid trimming (size minimization)
- FumeFX can be source to another FumeFX
- Multiple objects support for Object Source
- AfterBurn-like controls for Particle Source
- Void Source that deletes all channels inside/outside specific region (causes grid to shrink as you want it)
- Modifier that affects object's Vertex Color channel based on FumeFX values
- Preview Window output path and codec selection
- Added even better MXS support

I hope that you'll like what's been added to it.

Thanks for the info, sounds fantastic!

Some way cool features! 8)

That is a pretty nice "some new features" list.

I shall wait impatiently with much anticipation

[sitnisati]

Thank you.
New features should add more flexibility to the workflow and
there are few more to come for ver. 2.5.

2.5?

So if you don't mind me asking how soon is soon?

[Bandu]

I hope "soon" is before Easter ??

I shall wait impatiently with much anticipation, too

But seriously.
I'm just setting up a new studio - should I wait with buying FumeFX for a couple of weeks?

[sitnisati]

I'd say that you're on the safe line to qualify for free 1.2->2.0 upgrade if you purchase it.
As a side note - we'll soon have FumeFX 2.0 mental ray shader for Linux as well !

Sounds great!

Who exactly will qualify for free upgrade? I bought 1.2 6 months ago...

[sitnisati]

That is still to be decided, but it could be February 1st 2010.

I was wondering for the retimer feature, will this be kind of a slowmotion event? And is there a release date coming soon?

Can wait for that version!!,
thanks

[sitnisati]

With Retimer, you can do slow motion and fast forward at user defined, animatable, rates.
I am planning to release it within two weeks, and I hope there won't be any critical issues along the way.
