RE:Flex
RE:Flex creates visually stunning morphs and warps with an easy-to-use interface.
| Crystal Light Production Company: Digital Kitchen Advertising Firm:Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide Client:Kraft Foods Morphing: Lloyd Alvarez "RE:Flex was used to warp water to appear as if it was coming off clothing." |
Orell Füssli Billboard Client: Orell Füssli Production Company: ABSOLUTTURNUS AG Morphing: Dany Bittel "The swiss production company Absolutturnus created this tv billboard for the biggest book seller in switzerland. It was shot in front of greenscreen in HD, then every actor was rescaled and color corrected individually for best match in SD. The morphing was done with RE:Flex directly in After Effects. It was easy for Dany Bittel to acquire the necessary knowledge for the morphing, because RE:Flex integrates as an effect easily into AE and uses the standard masking. There was no need to change the workflow." |
RE:Flex brings intuitive morphing and warping to combustion, After Effects, Shake, Autodesk Systems (IFFFS) and Fusion! Superior results are achieved using RE:Vision Effects' proprietary and sophisticated technology. RE:Flex is especially easy to learn because it uses the host program's own drawing and masking tools (when available) to direct the warping and morphing; as such, there is no need to learn a whole new user interface.
Using our proprietary tracking software, RE:Flex is the first morphing program to combine hand feature-matching with automatic image registration.
RE:Flex is a warping and morphing plugin set.
Features of RE:Flex
- Warping is directed through the host program's roto tools (splines and polylines), not through a grid of mesh points!
- Geometries need not be closed shapes
- Smooth non-polygonal warping
- Interactive warping: view the warp as you drag the control shapes
- Option to match vertices of corresponding geometries for fine control
- 8 and 16 bits per channel support. Floating point supported in AE 70 or later (Professional Edition), Shake and Fusion.
- Anti-aliasing subsampling
- MipMap filtering
RE:Flex Warping Features
- Warping is directed using sets of "from" geometries and "to" geometries at each frame.
- The amount of warping can be specified and animated.
- Variable amount of shape transition between "from" and "to" geometries can be specified per-shape.
RE:Flex Morphing Features
- When morphing from stil-to-still morphing occurs by creating a set of geometry on the "source" image, then moving the set to corresponding places on the "destination" image.
- Automatic alignment feature that can be used alone or in conjunction with hand-specified correspondences. This feature can greatly improve morphs without having to specify all features by hand.
- Morph from one moving sequence to another.
- By default, the two images are linearly cross-dissolved. For finer control, the amount of cross-dissolve can be specified for each piece of matching geometries individually.
- Variable amount of shape transition between "from" and "to" geometries can be specified per-shape.
