Rendering GridMarkets, a cloud rendering service powered by a plethora of high-performance servers, will be available to Side Effects' Houdini users with rendering needs that exceed the capa- bility of their local servers. It launches with the simple push of a button from within the Side Effects Houdini interface and is easily integrated into existing Houdini workflows. Project data and processing are managed by GridMarkets. GridMarkets is also providing rendering services for users of other major soware packages through affiliated renderfarms and strategic partners. www.GridMarkets.com WO R K F L O W Productivity Tool Shotgun Soware is shipping Shotgun Panel for all Shotgun Pipeline Toolkit users. The Shot- gun Panel gives artists a simple mini-Shotgun user interface di- rectly within common creative ap- plications such as Autodesk Maya and The Foundry's Nuke, enabling quick access to key information and the ability to communicate with other artists on their team, without having to switch over to a Web browser. Shotgun Panel can also be integrated directly into proprietary pipelines, will work as a floating panel in Autodesk Flame, and is customizable to support a facility's specific workflow. Shot- gun Panel comes just ahead of the Shotgun 6.3 rollout, scheduled for later this fall. www.shotgunsoware.com E D I T I N G Problems Resolved Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve 12, professional editing and color-correction soware, is now available for download.

The release intro- duces new workflow improve- ments and creative tools, along with a performance boost that streamlines the creation, man- agement, and delivery of assets for artists within a multi-delivery pipeline.

FLIX, The Foundry's Web-based story development tool, allows creative teams to collaborate in one place. Also, Toon Boom and The Foundry are integrating Storyboard Pro and FLIX, including a new workflow between the two solutions. Now, artists can feed panels from Story- board Pro into FLIX, where they can review and manage them in step with changes from multiple de- partments during story evolution. In Storyboard Pro, FLIX maintains version control and keeps track of all pre-production assets. www.toonboom.com www.thefoundry.co.uk September.October 2015, Volume 38, Issue 5: COMPUTER GRAPHICS WORLD (USPS 665-250) (ISSN-0271-4159) is published bi-monthly with special additional issues in Janu- ary and July resulting in 8 issues per year by COP Communi- cations, Inc.
