Natron 0.9.6
Pre-release
Pre-release
- Roto can now output RGBA colors and all beziers have a blending mode. It is now easier to layer your work within the same roto node.
- New Dot node to break connections and make cleaner graphs
- New OCIOCDLTransform to apply an ASC Color decision list, it also supports the .ccc (Color correction collection) or .cc (Color correction) file formats.
- New OCIOFileTransform to apply a transform from a given file. Supported formats:
- .3dl (flame or lustre)
- .ccc (color correction collection)
- .cc (color correction)
- .csp (cinespace)
- .lut (houdini)
- .itx (iridas_itx)
- .cube (iridas_cube)
- .look (iridas_look)
- .mga (pandora_mga)
- .m3d (pandora_m3d)
- .spi1d (spi1d)
- .spi3d (spi3d)
- .spimtx (spimtx)
- .cub (truelight)
- .vf (nukevf)
- Natron now includes Aces 0.7.1 OpenColorIO profiles
- Can now read multilayer/multiview images using ReadOIIO (the standard image reader plugin in Natron) for formats that support it (such as OpenEXR or Photoshop PSD). ReadOIIO now lets you select the layer/view/channel for each output component.
- Multiple nodes can now be selected/edited in the nodegraph at the same time. Hold CTRL-A to select all nodes, CTRL-SHIFT-A to select only visible nodes in the visible portion
- The “Tab” shortcut menu is now more intuitive and easy to use
- New shortcuts to create basic nodes:
– O : Roto
– C : ColorCorrect
– G : Grade
– T : Transform
– M : Merge - In addition the “L” shortcut allows you to rearrange automatically the layout of the selected nodes.
- New Tracker node: 4 different algorithms can be used to track points. Tracks can be created and controlled directly from the Viewer. You can then export the results in a CornerPin node. (Transform export will be included later).
- In addition for convenience you can also link the control points of the Roto splines directly to a given track.
The tracker nodes accepts a mask in input: When tracking points inside a roto shape,
plug that same shape as a mask of the tracker to help the tracker giving better results. - The cache has been greatly improved so it is more clever with the usage of the memory and can be cleared totally using the menu option.
- The green-line on the timeline now has 2 different colours:
- Dark green meaning that the frame is cached on the disk
- Bright green meaning that the frame is present in memory (RAM)
New tools icons in the interface (thanks to Jean Christophe Levet)
Combobox (Choice) parameters now display in their tooltip the help for all the choices
so it is easier to understand the parameter than to cycle through all the list 1 by 1
- Fixed multiple bugs in the curve editor that prevented to select and move several keyframes
- Fixed a bug where some image sequences wouldn’t be recognised correctly
- Fixed stability of the software across the board
- Improved the efficiency of the rendering engine across the board, making it faster and more robust to some rare configurations
- Linux builds now offer a complete installer and maintenance tools allowing to install/uninstall/update the software easily (thanks to Ole Andre)
- Linux 32 bit platforms are now also officially supported.
