First Autodesk Toxik software extension released

Autodesk has announced that IMAGICA Corp. has added 15 seats of Autodesk Toxik software to its postproduction pipeline, along with training from Autodesk Consulting.
Autodesk has also released the first feature extension to the Toxik collaborative visual effects and compositing software. This extension, called Blend and Comp, contains tools that make frequent digital compositing tasks easier.
Earlier this year, IMAGICA began offering digital intermediate services with its Discreet Lustre digital colour grading system and Autodesk Stone Shared storage area network. Yasuo Nishi, Executive Officer and General Manager of IMAGICA’s Motion Picture Division, said: “We’ve adopted Autodesk Toxik in order to ensure that our digital postproduction process is stable and robust. We plan to use it on five projects in the near future. The Toxik software will improve the way multiple artists work together on these projects.”
The Toxik software enables IMAGICA’s team to manage multiple project assets, improving the team’s postproduction workflow. Created for multi-user collaboration, Toxik software integrates an Oracle relational database that supports constant synchronisation between all systems. Artists, technical directors and visual effects supervisors can open and review the compositions on which other artists are working. Versions are tracked automatically, and compositions can be created on multiple systems while simultaneously being linked together for centralised reviewing and rendering.
IMAGICA provided Autodesk with valuable feedback on Toxik software development from the early stages, along with 27 other postproduction facilities. IMAGICA’s expertise in distributed environments and image processing tool development was instrumental in shaping Toxik software’s collaborative functionality and application programme interface (API).
