A couple of feature questions for Resolve users
-
Well, then maybe I saw a Flame demo video online which was misnamed as Lustre. It’s possible as I’m not familiar with Lustre’s or Flame’s interface and could easily confuse them. But the demo had Lustre in the title. In the demo I saw there was actually a button named “Relight” and another named “Ray” and I found the features interesting, very powerful and useful. So I asked.

In Resolve you can create a similar effect with PowerWindows. Save the effect when you like it to your PowerGrade library so you can use it for all projects.
With Resolve 8.0, you can now export stills with the color grading metadata in the form of a DRX file. A DaVinci Resolve eXchange file will be saved in the same folder as the still. If you copy both to another system, i.e. from on set to post, you will be able to move the still frame and the node graph that use used to make that look, without the need to export the whole project.
When Resolve imports stills it looks for an associated DRX and if there is one loads that metadata with the still.

You saw Flame and Smoke. Lustre doesn’t have that capability.

It has been awhile, but I do believe Lustre has the tools that the OP is asking about.
I do not remember exactly how they work, but I believe you could get there with use off mattes and windows.
Memory says they looked much like the light tools of smoke / flame or After Effects. Controlling exactly what is “relit” is the trick.

No, you’re wrong. Lustre doesn’t have such tools and it never did.

Well, never did may mean in a release version ….
Please read the following:

I saw the same demo and that is what I referred to. Never followed up to know that it was not a released feature.

Also please view this:

Specifically the Section labeled “Relighting”.
This is what my memory pointed to.

Yep. That’s it.
I guess you were wrong Jake Blackstone.
