Developed in Close Collaboration with VFX Industry Guru,
Mark Christiansen
Wilmington, NC - September 10, 2009 - Digieffects,® a developer
of popular visual effects software plugins, today announced that
Camera Mapper is available for purchase. Camera Mapper, a
plugin for Adobe After Effects, allows you to simulate a 3D
scene from 2D stills or footage. It allows you to isolate one
or several objects in your footage, project these objects on a
separate layer and pull that layer out of the background,
creating the visual illusion of the object floating in front
of the original footage.
According to Robert Sharp, President of Digieffects "camera
mapping is a key part of compositing applications such as Nuke,
and while you could do this natively in After Effects, it would
be only at the expense of some complicated workarounds that
cost time and lack important capabilities."
Camera Mapper was developed in close collaboration with Mark
Christiansen, author of The After Effects Studio Techniques
books, and industry veteran who has worked on several feature
films including Avatar, Pirates 3, All About Evil and The
Day After Tomorrow.

According to Robert Sharp, President of Digieffects, "Mark has
added a tremendous amount of value to the Camera Mapper
development cycle. He brings a true 'users' perspective and
the end result is an After Effects plugin that is highly
valuable and usable."
Mark Christiansen comments that "Camera Mapper provides an
elegant solution to a vexing problem in After Effects; the
alternative for mapping a scene to 3D geometry is complicated
enough that it has occupied several pages of each edition of
my After Effects books."
Key Features
* Realistically create the illusion that a still image is fully
dimensional moving footage.
* Subtly change the perspective of a shot, or animate it over
time.
* Can be combined with 3D tracking to add or alter elements
in a scene.
* Now you can step back in time and get another chance to
move the camera.
* Allows you to stay in After Effects when working with fully
dimensional models, rather than jumping into an expensive and
complex 3D application.
Bundle Available with Red Giant Software PlaneSpace
The Camera Mapper/PlaneSpace bundle is only $229, a $49 savings
if customers were to purchase the two software packages
independently. PlaneSpace, developed by Red Giant Software,
allows you to arrange and animate 3D layers easily. PlaneSpace
eliminates the tedious task of managing the individual layers in
multi-layer effects and automatically creates layers that form
cubic, cylindrical, and spheroid shapes or complex matrices.
Together, Camera Mapper and PlaneSpace are the perfect bundle
for simulating a 3D scene from 2D footage right in After Effects.
Pricing and Availability
Camera Mapper represents a true breakthrough in pricing. At
$79 it is affordable to even the most stretched budget.
However, it offers the quality, speed and creativity that
high-end plugins provide. Camera Mapper is available directly
from Digieffects as well as its distributor and reseller
partners. The plugin is compatible with Adobe After Effects 7,
CS3 and CS4 and runs on Mac PPC, Mac Intel, and Windows XP and
Windows Vista operating systems.
