OCULA is a unique collection of 16 workflow plug-in tools for NUKE designed to tackle common problems with stereoscopic imagery. Helping to take the headache out of stereo post-production, OCULA can be relied upon to boost productivity and ultimately deliver a more rewarding 3D viewing experience.
· Fix common stereoscopic problems - with tools to correct colour and focus, automatically correct alignment, retime stereo views and assist stereo VFX.
· Create sharp and accurate images
· Enjoy fine-level, high quality, workflow enhanced control - thanks to pixel-level image matching tools that don’t introduce artefacts, easy manual refinement and fast, simple review corrections that reduce iterations.
· Achieve fast shot turnaround - with built-in automation that allows corrections to be scripted for offline work and advanced GPU acceleration that speeds up interactive processing with the same results on both the CPU and GPU.
Features
Toolsets
OCULA tool sets provide standard templates designed to get the best results first time in plate preparation, color correction and vertical alignment.
Disparity
Disparity generator creates stereo disparity vectors that map pixels between left and right view. Disparity is at the core of the plate correction tools allowing color, focus, and alignment to be mapped between views as well as the correlation of key processes such as Roto or Paint.
Vertical aligner
It can be used to remove focal length differences and rotations, eliminate lens or mirror distortions and fix issues with alignment in depth.
Stereo Retiming
Differences between left and right views can make for an uncomfortable 3D viewing experience. Retimer is an optical flow-based retiming engine that’s designed to remove these differences and ensure better viewing in stereo.
Color and focus
Designed to help you deal with the subtle color differences that are sometimes present between stereo views such as changes in reflections or highlights as well as localized color shifts.
New views
The ‘New view’ plug-in allows one view to be rebuilt entirely from the other to help in tricky shots where where alignment, colour or focus matches are problematic.
Depth tools
Depth tools enable artists to create useful data for standard compositing tasks.
Troubleshooting and QC
The Stereo review gizmo has been built to push through production footage and provides an artist-friendly way to QC corrections and reduce iterations.
