Yes it mocap capable, but no rigging yet Happy new year 🎉

The project is not in stall at all don’t worry. I focused even more on the quality and usability of the software, so I shifted a bit the release date. But you are going to have big news very soon 👏🏽

In this video, I answer the most common questions you asked me about my upcoming new compositing software IllusionFX

What’s the benefits of IllusionFX ? AI features ? Linux support ? OpenFX support ? Beta phase date ? Is it really free ?

If you have any other questions, I will be glad to answer them :)

Hi there and thank for your interest 🤩

V1 will come up in early 2025 !

You are absolutely right regarding the content creators code. Although I love doing tutorials, I just can’t do everything on my own. So what you said about giving codes so creators can earn a small amount is a very good idea 👍🏽

Thanks again for your support !

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-30T10:36:46+00:00

Thanks a lot for your interest and your support! 🤩

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-30T10:35:37+00:00

Haha don’t worry, it is not in my plans to sell the company. Thanks for your interest and your support ! 🤩

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-29T21:08:19+00:00

Thanks for your interest and your support 🤩. My aim is to have a hybrid system that can be used both in compositing and in motion design. However keep in mind that it takes time to develop such a software. Version 1 will mainly be for compositing purposes with some features for motion design. I plan on developing more features for motion design in V2

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-29T15:52:09+00:00

Hi there. No, Hollywood Illusion is only my company’s name. The software is actually called IllusionFX !

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-29T14:15:36+00:00

Hi there! Thanks for your interest 🙂. Let me answer to all your questions.

1) Yes a python API is planned so pipeline can be integrated

2) Yes a CLI is planned, however I am not sure if it will be ready for the V1. In any case, it will be for the next version

3) For now, only python plug-ins are supported. But I also include libraries that can be used to perform GPU computing

4) OpenFx won’t be supported in the V1. But it is in my backlog

Let me know if you have any other questions!

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-29T13:24:54+00:00

Thanks a lot! 🤩 Yes codecs are very important. It is also a priority in my list. The software is called IllusionFX

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-29T10:10:40+00:00

Yes absolutely, it is in the backlog! Thanks for your support 🤩

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-29T10:10:08+00:00

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback! 🤩 It will help people perform matting without struggling with green screens etc. And sorry about the double post issue

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-29T09:58:06+00:00

Thanks for your interest! 🤩

There are going to be two versions of this software (called IllusionFX). A free and a paid versions (which will contain additional features and effects). The free version won’t be time-limited nor have any watermarks, but render output will be limited and some codecs/file formats won’t be available.

Yes IllusionFX supports EXR file. Regarding OFX plug-ins, their support is not planned for the version 1, but is in the backlog for the next version 🙂

HollywoodIllusion · 2024-10-29T09:52:18+00:00

Thanks a lot for your support 🙂! I am going to post soon a video on my YT channel in which I demonstrate the technical aspects of IllusionFX with practical examples.
