We are proud to announce the release of Dragon Stop Motion 2.2. The focus of this release is 3D stereo support, with new tools for reviewing and refining your 3D images.
With our 2.1 release, we introduced two new (optional) hardware devices that integrate seamlessly with Dragon Stop Motion. The DDMX-S2 provides automated lighting support, as well as some basic input and output triggers for interacting with external devices. Our 2.2 release improves the DMX support by allowing you to easily move lighting keyframes by selecting and dragging them. The result is a much smoother process for editing your lighting programs.
The IOTA 3D Stereoscopic Slider, when paired with the IOTA Controller and Dragon Stop Motion software creates the most robust 3D stop-motion animation solution. Now with 2.2, you can refine advanced 3D settings such as your interocular values (the distance at which the left and right eye images are captured), the convergence (the offset of left and right images, which is crucial for setting the depth of objects in your scene), and edge float (also called ‘floating window’, it creates the illusion of the viewing pane moving in relation to your screen). You can also get live 3D playback of your scene in the animation window, or do a 3D anaglyph QuickTime export to share with others.
