Boris BLUE 2.0

Boris Blue version 2.0 adds Avid plug-in support, additional features for composing effects in 3D, and adds innovative new deformers and filters

Avid Plug-in Integration for Windows XP Avid systems
With Blue, Avid users now have access to unique features such as a sophisticated realtime particle engine and the ability to create effects using 3D models in the Avid timeline. AVX plug-in integration eliminates export/import of projects - simplifying online/offline workflow. Additionally, Blue effects can now be saved into Avid bins for re-use.

Improved 3D Interactors for Objects, Cameras, Lights and Split Views
Simultaneously display and work with multiple perspectives of the 3D Scene in the Composite Window. This new enhancement makes it faster and easier to create sophisticated 3D scenes and animations.

3D Camera Improvements
The new functionality gives the ability to have a camera automatically stay focused on a particular object or point in the scene while animating through 3D space.

New 3D Deformers and Image Processors
The expanded effects pallete includes Curl and Shatter, as well as Glow and Film Process. Accelerated filters Lens Flare, Glint and much more expand the range of looks and effects that can be created with Boris Blue 2.0.

Perfect for post facilities with client-supervised sessions or demanding deadlines, Blue uses the latest generation NVIDIA GPU-based graphics cards to provide an interactive effects design experience. Blue delivers real-time processing of 2D and 3D effects as well as real-time playback of video and audio media within effect compositions. Users can easily adjust effect parameters during playback, a front room capability that is ideal for working side by side with clients. The fast export to disk, including hardware rendered anti-aliasing, motion blur, and 3D shadows, provide significant time savings.

particle systemParticles
Use any 3D object as a particle, including extruded shapes and imported 3D Models. Multiple attractors and repellers provide dynamic particle interaction. Sprite-based particles simulate Fire, Smoke and Sparks.
Sample Clips		 Pixel Shaders
Create stunning looks by combining innovative "pixel shaders" to paint objects with bump maps, noise patterns or natural materials along with light reflections and 3D shadows. Adjust parameters with interactive real-time playback, including streaming video and audio.
enhanced extrusionsEnhanced Extrusions
Create custom bevels by defining a curve with spline drawing tools. Extrude text, spline primitives, free hand spline drawings and imported EPS files Import 3D models in the .3ds and .obj formats, preserving individual geometry groups.
Sample Clips		 OpenGL vertex shaders
Powerful OpenGL vertex shaders provide true 3D warping of 3D objects. Distort and warp 3D objects with a simple one-parameter action. Bend and twist corners or wrap extruded text around curves.

deformersDeformers, Image Processors and Generators
Vertex Deformers provide true 3D warping of 3D objects. Blue's Deformers, Image Processors and Generators are fully hardware accelerated for blazing speed.
Sample Clips

 Detailed Bevels
Create highly detailed bevels on extruded objects by defining a custom curve with common spline drawing tools. You can also combine multiple curves to create unique designs or match existing requirements.

material effectsMaterials including Bump Maps and Reflections
Materials include per pixel lighting controls and texture, bump and reflection mapping. They are also are fully hardware accelerated for blazing speed.
Sample Clips

 Particle Effects
Create particle effects by free hand tracing paths on screen. The powerful new 3D Particles let you use any shape as a particle while emitters can contain multiple particle types. Combine multiple shapes including 3D models to achieve a unique look or natural effects.

typeon effectSophisticated Animation Made Fast and Easy
Blue includes tools such as Type On Containers and Motion Path for more convenient creation of complex 3D animations. Combined with full hardware acceleration, these high quality effects can be designed and exported with amazing speed.

 Importing 3D
Models Integrate with other 3D applications by importing models saved in common 3D file formats. Tap into a vast collection of shareware objects or choose from a selection of 3D models included with Boris Blue.

Why Boris Blue?

A Boris FX customer recently wrote:
"I'm a Boris user who has a Windows machine with a good NVIDIA graphics card, and I now hear that Boris Blue 2 can be used as a plug-in for Avid. You say Boris Blue does 3D, right? Well, what if I already have Boris Graffiti, Boris FX, Boris Red, or Avid FX? I know some of those products already offer 3D text and some offer 3D shapes. Why would I want Boris Blue if I already have something like the latest version of Red or Avid FX?"

Compared to Boris Red or Avid FX, Blue gives you...

- Much more speed for both previewing effects and rendering effects. Blue uses NVIDIA graphics cards for accelerated GPU rendering and preview.

- Much more sophisticated 3D looks because it has more advanced 3D lighting, more advanced Materials for 3D surfaces, true 3D shape deformers for all shapes, and custom bevels and extrusion faces for extruded objects.

- Fast, powerful 3D Particle Emitters for realistic simulation of smoke, fire, and sparks or creation of animated backgrounds and other graphic elements.

- The ability to import 3D model files such as .3ds (3ds Max) and .obj (Maya) geometry files, preserving individual geometry groups and maintaining editable texture and bump maps. This gives you access to an infinite number of new 3D shapes for your Boris Blue 3D effects.

- Advanced 3D Camera features including the ability to animate a camera along a user defined bezier path. Have a camera stay focused on a specific 3D point or track another 3D object as its target while moving through 3D space.

- Better interface tools for composing 3D effects. The Blue Composite Window offers split views for simultaneously viewing and adjusting your 3D scene from multiple perspectives. Blue also gives you improved 3D interactors for better manipulating objects in 3D space.
