NAB will be much more interestinteresting for VFX, Compositing artist as yesterday Adobe unveiled new After Effect with cool functionality https://www.cgrecord.net/2019/04/adobes-2019-cc-latest-update-lets-you.html, and today, Autodesk announced Flame 2020, the latest release of the Flame Family of integrated visual effects (VFX), color grading, look development and finishing system for artists. They will makse showcase in NAB show this year also.
New computer vision, photogrammetry and machine-learning techniques have been incorporated in Flame, allowing the forthcoming version of the software to extract motion vectors, Z depth and 3D normals from image sequences.. The Flame 2020 release adds built-in machine learning analysis algorithms to isolate and modify common objects in moving footage, dramatically accelerating VFX and compositing workflows
“Machine learning has enormous potential for content creators, particularly in the areas of compositing and image manipulation where AI can be used to track and isolate objects in a scene to pull rough mattes quickly,” said Steve McNeill, Director Flame Family Products, Autodesk, Media and Entertainment. “Flame has a reputation as the de facto finishing system of choice in the deadline driven world of professional production, and this latest 2020 release significantly extends creative flexibility and performance for our artists.”
Products in the Flame Family 2020 line will include a Z Depth Map Generator that analyzes live-action scenes and generates depth maps that can be used to apply effects based on distance from camera in color-grading or look development.

With Refraction feature, a 3D object can now refract, distorting background objects based on its surface material characteristics. To achieve convincing transparency through glass, ice, windshields and more, the index of refraction can be set to an accurate approximation of real-world material light refraction.
A new normal map generator has been trained to automatically recognize human faces, Autodesk said, which will have implications for color correction, relighting, retouching and beauty work centered on human performers. And a new refraction feature allows a 3D object to create distortion in the background of a scene based on its material characteristics.
A productivity enhancement called Automatic Background Reactor is only available on Linux, but aims to keep projects moving by triggering background rendering automatically whenever a shot has been modified. Flame, Flare and Flame Assist 2020 will also support Open FX plug-ins as batch/BFX nodes or directly on the Flame timeline, as well as for Cryptomatte rendering.
Simpler UX in Core Areas— A new expanded full width UX layout for MasterGrade, Image surface, and several Map User interfaces, are now available, allowing for easier discoverability and accessibility to key tools.
‘Manager’ for Action, Image, Gmask—A simplified list schematic view, Manager makes it easier to add, organize and adjust video layers and objects in the 3D environment.
Licensing has been tweaked as well, with monthly, yearly, and three-year single-user options available for Linux. Customers on single-user licenses for Mac will be able to transfer their license to Linux, Autodesk said.
Flame, Flare™, Flame Assist and Lustre 2020 will be available on April 16, 2019 at no additional cost to customers with a current Flame Family 2019 subscription. A one-year subscription to Flame is $4,205.
This latest update will be showcased at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 8-11 between 9:00am-5:00pm in a demo suite at the Renaissance Hotel.
