SGO has released a new version of Mistika VR, the fastest stitching software on the market, which brings more than twenty new features to its users. These significantly contribute to more efficient workflow, improving performance and quality, and accelerating collaboration among multiple computers.
The latest release is already available at no additional cost to all existing Mistika VR customers.
Highlights of the new release include:
- Improved workflow. Mistika VR introduces improvements such as Media Relinking, Mass import of Media, Zoomable visual editor timeline, and many more that will notably enhance VR 360 post-production workflow.
- Better performance and quality. You will also find better alignment for coaxial rigs and a forward Distance parameter that acts as an experimental alternative to Convergence.
- Faster collaboration between multiple hardware. Sharing projects between different operating systems is now possible through Path Translator.
- Upgraded 360º photography support. Mistika VR users can now choose either if the images are a time sequence or if each image is a separate camera view. Also, maximum camera number is increased, allowing larger still image photography sets.
- Greater connectivity with new items. The nVidia h264/h265 render now supports the QP mode for constant quality which is much more appropriate for post-production workflows. Another considerable feature is the KanDao timelapses import tool which helps to reorder and to rename KanDao sequences thanks to the Drag and Drop utility, simplifying the import and management process.
Rom-Com Mainstay Hugh Grant Shifts To The Dark Side and He’s Never Been Happier
After some difficulties connecting to a Zoom, Hugh Grant eventually opts to just phone instead.
"Sorry about that," he apologizes. "Tech hell." Grant is no lover of technology. Smart phones, for example, he calls the "devil's tinderbox."
"I think they're killing us. I hate them," he says. "I go on long holidays from them, three or four days at at time. Marvelous."
Hell, and our proximity to it, is a not unrelated topic to Grant's new film, "Heretic." In it, two young Mormon missionaries (Chloe East, Sophie Thatcher) come knocking on a door they'll soon regret visiting. They're welcomed in by Mr. Reed (Grant), an initially charming man who tests their faith in theological debate, and then, in much worse things.
After decades in romantic comedies, Grant has spent the last few years playing narcissists, weirdos and murders, often to the greatest acclaim of his career. But in "Heretic," a horror thriller from A24, Grant's turn to the dark side reaches a new extreme. The actor who once charmingly stammered in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and who danced to the Pointer Sisters in "Love Actually" is now doing heinous things to young people in a basement.
"It was a challenge," Grant says. "I think human beings need challenges. It makes your beer taste better in the evening if you've climbed a mountain. He was just so wonderfully (expletive)-up."
"Heretic," which opens in theaters Friday, is directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, co-writers of "A Quiet Place." In Grant's hands, Mr. Reed is a divinely good baddie — a scholarly creep whose wry monologues pull from a wide range of references, including, fittingly, Radiohead's "Creep."
In an interview, Grant spoke about these and other facets of his character, his journey... Read More
