Autodesk Toxik 2007: Software for Feature Film Visual Effects

Autodesk today launched Autodesk Toxik 2007, the latest version of its collaborative digital compositing software for feature film production.

The software's robust creative toolset helps film studios and post-production facilities deliver vivid, high-resolution imagery with ease.

Autodesk Toxik 2007 will be showcased at the National Association of Broadcasters tradeshow in Las Vegas, Nevada from April 24-27.

Autodesk Toxik was first introduced one year ago.

Autodesk Toxik 2007 offers a range of new capabilities, including a Paint system that allows interactive painting of high-resolution, high-dynamic-range imagery (HDRI).

HDRI is growing in popularity because it contains extensive color and lighting information, ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows.

This gives digital artists more creative options than traditional digital imagery.
