🎥 💧 How to maintain naturalism when shooting water scenes on an LED Volume using virtual production? 💧 Find out from Daniel Hall, Head of ICVFX and Advanced Technologies at Virtual Production Studios by 80six, in the latest edition of Definition magazine.👇 Dan Hall says: “When working with rain or particle effects, you want to ensure that the physical properties of the virtual rain – including spawn frequency, droplet size, wind direction and material – match those of the physical rain. If there’s rain falling on a subject, it should also be in the virtual environment. Though it’s not always necessary; if you have a shallow depth-of-field in a large volume with physical rain, it may not be needed. This can save on GPU resources.“ 🔗 Discover more about the benefits and challenges of shooting water scenes in real-time using ICVFX in Definition Magazine: https://bit.ly/3MfeYjb 👉 Visit 80six’s website for more info on our studios: https://lnkd.in/grpJpcq #virtualproduction #ICVFX #virtualproductionstudio #80six #HETV #TVseries #TVC #episodic #filmandtv #productiontechnology #filmmaking 

Today we announced that the final release of DaVinci Resolve 19 is now available. DaVinci Resolve 19 is a major new update which adds new DaVinci Neural Engine AI tools, over 100 feature upgrades such as IntelliTrack AI, Ultra NR noise reduction, ColorSlice six vector grading, film look creator FX and multi source editing on the cut page. For Fusion there are new USD tools and multipoly rotoscoping tools, plus Fairlight has new Fairlight AI audio panning to video, ducker track FX and ambisonic surround sound. Blackmagic Cloud has new features that make it easy to use for large companies with multiple users collaborating on the same project at the same time. There’s also support for DaVinci Resolve Replay so you can create live action replays straight to air during live events and convert those replays into promos, highlight packages and instant social media updates. With this update, editors can work directly with transcribed audio to find speakers and edit timeline clips. Colorists can produce rich film like tones with the ColorSlice six vector palette and produce cinematic images using the new film look creator effect which emulates photometric film processes. In Fairlight, the IntelliTrack AI can be used to track motion and automatically pan audio. VFX artists in Fusion have an expanded set of USD tools plus a new multipoly rotoscoping tool which displays all of your masks in a single list. The cut page has new broadcast replay tools for live multi camera broadcast editing, playout and replay with speed control. There’s also support for live sync with Blackmagic Cloud which uploads media into a DaVinci Resolve bin while the camera is recording so editors and colorists can start working even while the camera is rolling. We would like to thank all of the customers that participated in the beta program, tested the software in a variety of workflows, reported bugs and helped to make DaVinci Resolve 19 even more reliable.
