Animation and video product maker NewTek, along with InterSense Inc., a precision motion technology developer, have developed what they are calling the industry's first off-the-shelf 3D virtual production system. By integrating NewTek's LightWave 3D animation software with the InterSense patented virtual camera technology, creators are able to model, animate, render, scout and set 3D shots for 3D virtual displays, video/game development and film production, industrial design, medical imaging and more with one commercial solution.
NewTek LightWave 10, in addition to integration with the InterSense VCam, provides production proven modeling, rendering and animation capabilities with new interactive display and rendering functions, data interchange enhancements, immersive real-time and game capabilities, Bullet rigid body dynamics, and new UV mapping tools.
InterSense's VCam delivers organic, real-time virtual camera tracking which makes it easy to scout virtual locations, frame shots, and quickly shoot, re-shoot and produce virtual content. The company's patented Hybrid Inertial Technology tracks motion with a combination of real-time positioning, tracking and alignment capabilities.
