Press Release
eyeon Software Inc. is now shipping version 5 of their digital video compositor, DFX+. Following five years of focused video development and four version releases, DFX+ 5 has evolved into a prominent compositing tool for effects, motion graphics and animation pipelines.
DFX+ is based on the image engine and award-winning architecture of eyeon’s lead film compositing solution, Fusion. DFX+ 5’s principal features include 3D compositions with lights, cameras and primitives, OpenGL acceleration with display views, and an essential change to ASCII files. Compositions created in DFX+ 5 can easily be opened in Fusion, making it simple to move any project forward.
Some of the fundamental enhancements in DFX+ 5 are:
3D Integration
Direct importing and compatibility with leading 3D animation applications allow the same 3D parameters of cameras and scenes to exist inside DFX+ 5. This 3D integration delivers direct support of Maya, LightWave, Max and XSI, offering seamless and precise finishing of 3D scenes in DFX+ 5.

Motion Graphics
DFX+ 5’s toolset is designed for the creation of Motion Graphics, now with 3D text that can be bevelled and lit. Advanced shadow casting provides a rich environment when combined with the mature features of DFX+ 5, with a powerful flow system that can integrate all of the 3D and 2D tools together. This allows artists to create new looks and designs without the disadvantage of appearing like common presets.

Waveform, Vectorscope and 3D Histogram Monitors
Producing graphics and effects for broadcast requires that colors are legal at all times. New realtime vectorscope, histogram and waveform displays in DFX+ 5 offer complete color control.

Collaborative Workflow – Bins Server
DFX+ 5’s bins can be seen and managed over the network, allowing other artists to view, and update, collaborating bins. The bins also have the ability to run as a standalone service on a central server.

Integrated Particle System
Building upon DFX+’s initial 3D-in-2D particle suite, version 5 introduces a complete 3D particle system that can now integrate directly into the 3D environment. Artists can now match cameras with 3D applications, use light sources to illuminate particles, and interact with primitive shapes, image planes, and mesh geometry.

Integrated Vector Paint System
DFX+ 5’s paint is an extremely flexible, stroke-based system that can be used to retouch and create new images and artistic elements from scratch. Paint can perform wire and rig removal, image cloning and rapidly create custom masks and mattes.
