Combustion 3 wish list

#1

Don’t get me wrong, i like c2, but there is always room for improvement …so without further ado…

  1. Expressions

  2. Enhanced Schematic.

I know c2 is a layer based comper rather than a node based, but Schematic is a cool way to get a bit of the best of both worlds. How about taking it more in the direction of flame’s setup? Or even Shake?

  1. Keyframe assistant-like functionality.

Then i could quit renewing my license of AE.

  1. A time remapper that doesn’t suck. :banghead:

  2. Expressions

  3. Speed

  4. Stability with IFF files

  5. Bicubics (one can wish, can’t they?)

  6. Expressions

  7. 3D tracker (one can wish, can’t they?)

Anyone else?

#2

hehe I think you want expressions in C3 am I right? :wink: :thumbsup:

Since I got into DF in the past weeks I must agree a better schematic view wouldn’t hurt…and same as you, I think it will take a LOT from AE to make me switch back now! :eek:

Cheers!

1- Expressions
2- Expressions
3- Expressions
4- Reel based desktop like Flame (why not)
5- More poverfull schematic view
6- Modular keyer
7- Finally expressions

Hi…

You have some reasonable requests, which I am sure Discreet < MAY just > listen to… But, you have to TELL THEM… DIRECTLY !

Why don’t you “cut & paste” your previous “request list” and click on:

Bye,

Jack

#5

what are you guys doing with expressions…

#6

Well, nothing for me I am not at this point in DF but some friends swear by them so I can’t wait to learn how to make some! :buttrock:

Cheers!

#7

AUTO PAINT!
expressions
bicubics
a better tracker
a “bulge” operator
saphire sparks !!! (and then i woke up)
enhanced schematic
to have the discreet color corrector be linked in the discreet keyer a-la an Action Setup in Flame/Inferno, instead of adding a CC opertaor on top
particles that only work more than just half of the time
the Flame/Inferno Orange and Yellow mask display (as opposed to the white one that comes in combustion that doesnt let you see your offset)
make it more stable and practicle for use with 2k files
AND make it a little less of a memory hog…if thats possible

i should mention i’m spoiled by my time on the Flame/Inferno machines…I do like Combustion alot (I’ve been defending it to friends and colleagues since v1.0) and i think with a few of upgrades mentioned in this thread it could be even better.

thats my two cents anyway…

#8

id have to double what dmeyer said
7. Stability with IFF files
very unstable in 2.1

#9
  1. Rulers and Grids in paint
  2. Stability of particles in HD
  3. Background rendering
  4. Movable/detachable pallettes like in 2.01 that save their position, not the ones on 2.1
  5. Warper
  6. Expressions
  7. Extanded Bicubics
  8. A way to convert masks to selections and vice versa

I’m sure i have more quams with combustion but this would be a start.

All the above :rolleyes: +

  • Better support for audio files
  • The ability to make a waveform control some parameter
  • Timeremapper, if possible like twixtor
  • Some improvements in speed
  • Why not framestores?
  • Support for zpics
  • Clustering
  • Background rendering
  • Render speed improvements
  • Improvements in the viewport updates while tweaking parameters
  • DOF for the movie camera
  • Some kind of editing abilities wont hurt
  • 3D warping
  • 3D displacement

that’s all for now!
See ya! 8)

90% ar even 99.9% of what you guys are asking for 5D Cyborg had, amazing package. Now all that technology belongs to Discreet. In my opinion insted of killing Cyborg they should kill Combustion and rerelease Cyborg. I know I am dreaming, and if they had done it it would directly compet with their high end products but well, we all can dream… can’t we?

I sent my list in long ago. Everyone do the same! It certainly can’t hurt!

I doubt this would happen, even if purely from a marketing standpoint…it doesnt fit in with their ‘all things fire’ naming convention in their FX products. Best we can hope for is some Cyborg features to float into C2, or to continue to bring flame’s goodies down to the desktop.

#14

ive never heard of cyborg but if they wanted to release it they could have just renamed it to a fire type name im sure. If they were going to release it at all.

#15
  • faster
  • faster
  • faster
  • stabler
  • stabler
  • stabler

and the stuff mentioned above.

i really hope some technology from cyborg or from the project strata-mezzo (toxik) will go into c3. - anyone know when c3 could be out? will it be demoed at siggraph03?

C3 > LINUX

#19

Yep, I think C3 will be greater than Linux too! :smiley: (joking)

#20

or one more thing… to beable to control whats on top of what or layercontorl for composite, in schematic

oh ya and better IFF support :slight_smile:
