Vicon released boujou5 on Monday (August 31st), and plans to release the software installer for it next Monday (September 7th). The popular motion-tracking software has several improvements, including:
- New Automatic Sequential Solver. Previous versions of boujou took the entire shot into account before delivering a solve. Now, it can look at a single frame at a time, which not only enables the user to intervene, it can make the entire process much faster.
- A fully functional Graph Editor, which lets the user manually adjust the camera data and, if necessary, resolve. boujou 5 also provides the ability to lock valid sections of solve data or sections which are known to be correct, which animators can then use to improve other areas of the shot.
- The Reference Frames feature allows users to import still images taken with any camera and use them to assist in a solve.
