The Foundry to launch new film plug-ins

The Foundry, the leading visual effects plug-in vendor, has announced that it will be showing a technology demo of its upcoming product, Furnace, at IBC 2002.
Currently in the Alpha phase of testing, Furnace is a suite of plug-in tools for Apple’s Shake compositing and visual effects system which helps film compositors correct common problems when working on film effects shots. Furnace is the culmination of two years’ research and development working closely with film effects houses in London.
“We started using Furnace on some of our most difficult wire removal shots on Highbinders, a Jackie Chan movie, and the results were amazing,” comments Angela Barson, Senior Compositor, The Moving Picture Company (MPC). “It is excellent at dealing with fast action shots which would normally require a lot of painstaking paintwork. Our wire removal team now regularly uses Furnace and it is saving us weeks (GB)
