Autodesk® Flame® 2013 software has creative tools for 3D visual effects and compositing. Features in Autodesk® Flame® Premium 2013 software provide creative professionals in post-production with an integrated end-to-end toolset for 3D visual effects, colour grading and editorial finishing.
Features
Innovative Relighting Tools
The relighting tools in Action give you power over 3D lighting effects at the core of your 3D toolset. Discover new ways to integrate light and colour directly into the 3D compositing environment, right where you need them.
- Support for point, spot, area, directional and ambient lights that can cast true shadows within 3D scenes
- Ultra-realistic 3D lens flares, blooming and volumetric lighting effects that interact with media layers and 3D objects
- Support for IBL mapping to simulate environmental lighting on surfaces and 3D geometry more effectively
- Relight CG renders interactively using render passes including normal and position maps

Workflow with 3D
Use CG assets in finishing via open workflows with 3D animation software such as Autodesk Maya, Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Autodesk® Mudbox® software, enabling you to make changes and versions in post-production, when speed and interactivity are essential.
- Share rich 3D assets between animators and visual effects artists throughout your pipeline using Autodesk FBX asset exchange technology. Control over shading and texturing inside Action lets you make creative decisions in an interactive environment.
- Exchange point-cached animated geometry quickly and efficiently through Alembic open CG interchange format support.
- Build custom render pass workflows between CG pipelines and finishing. Flame Premium helps you to accommodate changes and updated versions when working on CG-intensive post-production projects.
- Track multiple render passes and versions from CG using Autodesk’s Open clip with an open XML structure.
