Autodesk Toxik 2007 Creative Toolset and Customer Base Gains Momentum
Autodesk, Inc. has announced the first creative tools extension for its Autodesk Toxik 2007 software, containing advanced features for image transforms, filtering and warping. Toxik is used to create feature film visual effects, offering 2D and 3D compositing tools, integrated collaboration and the ability to manipulate high-resolution, high-dynamic range (HDR) imagery with ease. The software has been used to shape several feature films, including Silent Hill and The Fountain.
Hollywood-based post-production facility Red Engine Productions recently adopted Toxik for its support and extension model. John Chalfant, partner and creative director, commented: “Red Engine is a new facility. We’ve built our workflow from the ground up, keeping in mind that we’ve got to be equipped for today’s projects and the demands of the future. Toxik’s capabilities grow regularly through extensions; it’s like having a multi-million dollar R&D department in-house.”
Atlanta-based Turner Studios and Hollywood-based Asylum also recently purchased Toxik. In response to Hollywood’s growing interest in Toxik, Autodesk has expanded its customer support and reseller network.
