Hit Film

[Bernhard Grininger] “[Shawn Miller] “I think those guys are doing some good work, and I’m really pulling for them.”

Absolutely agreed!
IMO, HitFilm (as like as Clarisse iFX) is a new generation of hybrid apps
that will replace compositing and 3D-packages on the long run.”

You may be onto something here. I’m actually surprised at how robust the roto and composting tools have become in Blender.

[Bernhard Grininger] “[Shawn Miller] ” I’m much more interested in Mamba at the moment”

I’m on OSX, so have no chance to test Mamba.
How is the scaling? The typically silly Bicubic we get everywhere,
or an edge-adaptive Lanczos?

I’m hoping that Mamba goes cross platform at some point. I’ve always felt that good software thrives where there is good competition and wide availability. I don’t know about the scaling algorithms in Mamba, I’ve mostly been trying to get a ground level understanding of its operations. So far, I really like it. It’s inexpensive and familiar enough that I can seriously consider using it for certain tasks.

Blender is great under the hood.
But it would be a killer-app if someone would turn it into this here:

Agreed, there are a lot of good suggestions there! 🙂
