Now this is pretty cool.
Watch http://provideocoalition.com for updates, I certainly will – and will be eager to get my hands on a demo if possible (esp. Toxik).
From AutoDesk:
“Autodesk® Toxik™ software is a node-based digital compositing and visual effects solution with advanced image processing capabilities. The software’s architecture is built around its ultra-high resolution interaction and high dynamic range imaging (HDRI) core, which allows you to work interactively and intuitively with virtually any visual media, regardless of bit depth or image size.
