Modules For Vue 8 - KronosFX

Advanced control for your animations

KronosFX gives you full animation power. High-resolution animation renders, fine-tuned object keyframing, rotoscoping, etc. KronosFX is packed full of essential features for the serious animator.

The Vue 8 KronosFX module is an optional module for Vue 8 Pioneer, Vue 8 Esprit and Vue 8 Studio. It is part of Vue 8 Complete.

The Animation Graph Editor

Free-Form Editing of Keyframes and Time Curves

The animation graph editor displays individual high-definition time curves for each animated parameter. Separate X, Y, Z curves are displayed for all transform values: position, size, twist and pivot (rotation can be animated either in quaternion or Euler XYZ) as well as other parameters such as wind direction.

Freely move any keyframe (or group of keyframes) on both time and value axes. Each keyframe has its own handle, which can be easily manipulated to control tangents and interpolation.

Pan and zoom in the time curves window in order to display and edit any number of curves simultaneously. Use the precise numerical inputs to set time, value, velocity and acceleration for any key. Conveniently use one of the preset interpolation types: smooth (constant and weighted), ease in/out, linear and step.

OpenGL Animation Preview

Vue can generate quick previews of your animation, which are displayed in a resizable window at the bottom of the animation editor, and synched to the timeline navigation. This animation can be rendered using OpenGL, giving you an ultra-fast way to generate full-sized animation preview clips.

Animation range and render range can be separated, so that rendering part of the animation does not affect the animation range.
