“LAIKA successfully used Tweak’s RV toward the end of production on Coraline,” commented Tony Aiello, Software R&D Manager at LAIKA.
The key to its success is that RV is a professional, high-performance product built on an open, extensible architecture allowing users to adapt the software to their own pipelines and styles of working. Tweak Software released RV one year ago, and it has already been adopted by leading VFX and CG animation studios such as Industrial Light & Magic, Weta Digital, Tippett Studio, and LAIKA. New features introduced with RV 3.6 include: 2K uncompressed playback from disk, remote sync, HDR LUTs, and a Package System for RV scripts and other extensions. San Francisco, CA (July 8, 2009)-Tweak Software, developers of RV, the image and sequence viewer for animation and visual effects, announced today the release of a significant new version. Press Release on the new version is after the jump Version 3.6 has been released and has features like remote sync, HDR LUTs and 2k uncompressed playback from disk and more. Tweak Software’s RV was created in a real world production environment by very senior artists and engineers who needed a refined tool for working with film resolution, high dynamic range images and also wanted extensibility to integrate to their workflow. In a facility pipeline perhaps no piece of software wants to be reliable, invisible and do exactly what you want than playback software.
