Mamba FX’s new Spatial Isolation Keyer interfaces with metadata that can be passed from CGI software via the EXR files. This enables compositing techniques such as isolating elements in a scene by their 3D (XYZ) location, their surface direction (normals), their object ID or their material ID.
Also new for Mamba FX 2.0 is a “point cloud” shape tracker, which enables compositors to track 2D roto-shapes to shots quickly. Multiple shapes can be tracked and combined using Boolean operations to rapidly create moving matte shapes. Mamba FX 2.0 also includes new colour space conversion tools to aid project color management including ACES workflows. Other additional features include an adaptive interface for monitor configuration, as well as Dolby EDR support.
Mamba FX 2.0 is available for Windows, Linux and Mac (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) and is fully compatible with SGO’s Mistika.
