NewTek, creators of popular 3D animation and video products, has partnered up with InterSense Inc, creators of the fascinating VCam product we discussed at SIGGRAPH last year, to create the industry’s first off-the-shelf 3D Virtual production system: LightWave 10 with VCam.

“With LightWave and VCam, we can put more control and creative freedom back in the hands of directors, producers and VFX supervisors while ensuring that more of the production budget stays on the screen,” said Dean Wormell, director of applications marketing, InterSense. “Together, we hope to open up a new world of immersive virtual production for independent filmmakers and game developers worldwide.”

Full details in the release after the break.

Just got off the phone with InterSense, makers of the popular VCam system used in Monsters vs Aliens.  The product has gotten alot of press for it’s impressive combination of motion tracking, from their IS900 system, with real-time rendering in AutoDesk’s Motion Builder, making it great for pre-vis.

Well, Intersense has a new product they’ll be unveiling at SIGGRAPH2009 that’s sure to be even more incredible!  But if you want to know what it is, you’ll have to stop by booth 2023 at SIGGRAPH (or come back to VizWorld next week) for their live-demonstrations!  They will have their new stuff in their booth and running live hands-on demonstrations to visitors, so make sure you stop by and see not only the Intersense VCam, but their new mystery product that they’ll be announcing.
