Imagineer Systems (www.imagineersystems.com), creators of next-generation VFX tools, today announced the arrival of mogul. Conceived through customer dialogue and designed and developed by Imagineer Systems, mogul is an entirely new open, collaborative VFX architecture supporting a suite of tightly integrated, modular VFX systems and applications.
mogul is the industry's first collaborative VFX architecture to provide an open platform that unites common design facility talents, such as editing, compositing, 3D design and modelling, and empowers designers in a new VFX workflow that more closely fits the way artists work. Additionally, mogul enables powerful new collaboration capabilities critical in today's deadline-intensive, and fiscally demanding business climate and offers an innovative new subscription-based pricing model, ensuring mogul is accessible, viable and affordable for facilities of any size or budget.
Modular, integrated cross-platform VFX desktop applications that seamlessly plug into the mogul architecture will include rotoscoping, 2D and 3D tracking, paint, and node-based compositing -- all built on mogul's powerful new 3D engine.
mogul is an open architecture, and provides a path for all users -- of Imagineer Systems current products, as well as those from discreet, Avid, Quantel, and many others -- to embrace a tightly integrated, collaborative, inclusive and highly effective visual effects workflow.
mogul Availability
The mogul architecture is complete and is making its industry debut at NAB 2008. mogul systems and applications modules will become available through a phased roll-out, with quarterly developments and subsequent announcements planned throughout 2008.
mogul/review, the disk-based playback and review system, is available immediately. mogul/serve and mogul/browse will be available for shipment in the third quarter 2008.
