Products

With more than a decade in the R&D and Visual Effects production trenches, and after having released several OpenSource tools, /jupiter jazz/ now offers commercial software products for the VFX and broadcast markets.

AtomKraft

AtomKraft is the complete 3D look-development, Lighting and Rendering solution for The Foundry’s high-end 2D/3D compositing application, Nuke. AtomKraft includes Atomizer.

AtomKraft is currently in Beta1, will soon hit Beta2 and it’s planned for release 1.0 in september 2010.

AtomKraft Studio

The Studio version of AtomKraft interfaces with other RenderMan compliant renderers, e.g. Pixar’s PhotoRealistic RenderMan or Sitexgraphics’ AIR. AtomKraft Studio includes Atomizer. AtomKraft Studio adds to the standard version the following advanced features:

Instant one-click switching between RenderMan rendering engines
Full RIB import/export
Launching of external standalone renderer
Particle import, procedural expansion & rendering
Simulation import from selected simulation softwares

AtomKraft Studio is being developed in parallel with AtomKraft and it’s planned for release shortly after AtomKraft.

Atomizer

Atomizer is a separate plugin that can work independently from AtomKraft. It provides 2.5D relighting capabilities at a fraction of the cost of AtomKraft. It is embedded in AtomKraft.

Atomizer is currently in closed beta and it’s planned, along with AtomKraft, for release 1.0 in september 2010.

ChiaroScuro

ChiaroScuro is a complete indirect illumination framework solution for 3Delight for Maya featuring both point-based and ray-tracing techniques. It consists of a set of material and light shaders, and several DSO (Plugins) enabling users to generate indirect illumination passes from 3Delight for Maya with few (or just one if you use defaults) mouse clicks. It does not require any knowledge at the user side, it just works™. You can use Maya materials and lights as usual, or you can use it with our advanced physically plausible material and light: JupiterMaterial & JupiterLight.

ChiaroScuro is currently in closed beta, and it’s planned for release by the end of 2010.

Floyd

Floyd (codename) is a high performance volume rendering plugin for 3Delight for Maya, it takes as input a RIB and a Maya Fluids cache generated by 3DfM and shades volumetrically via a volume shader and a highly optimized raymarching DSO. It also works out of the box with 3Delight for Maya.

Floyd is currently in closed beta, and it’s planned for release by the end of 2010.

Fury

Fury (codename) is a physically plausible, artist friendly, RSL2.0 shader for 3Delight for Maya and 3Delight for Softimage. It features optimal shading models for fur rendering marrying realistic results and ease of use and supports short and long fur/hair styled with Maya Fur and Shave & Haircut. It is ideal for furry characters, human hairs, photorealistic and surrealistic looks.

Optionally the following tools can be made available along with Fury:

DSO for generating fur at render time
DSO for growing fur on subdivision surfaces
DSO for growing fur on displaced geometry
DSO for automatic level of detail

More infos coming soon.
