Furnace 4.0v1

This is a major new release including a new motion estimation engine, new plug-ins, speed ups and simplification of some of the controls that have baffled many.

Release Date

8 March 2007

Requirements

  1. Shake 4.10 on Linux (Fedora Core 4) and Shake 4.10 on Mac OS X (Universal Binary).
  2. Foundry FLEXlm Tools (FFT) (4.0v1 or later) for floating license support.

  4. Unified operation and appearance of on-screen tools.
  5. F_ChannelRepair - temporal controls removed for simpler workflow.
  6. F_ColourMatte - roto shapes have been added to speed workflow.
  7. F_DeBlur - optional deringing parameter added.
  8. F_DeGrain - temporal controls removed for simpler workflow.
  9. F_DeNoise - optional deringing parameter added.

Bug Fixes

  1. F_WireRemoval - Bug ID 51 - not a bug in 4.0v1
  2. F_WireRemoval and F_DeGrain. WireRemoval with rolling repair and temporal degrain may render incorrectly if there is a node (DOD) up or downstream that affects the size of the input to the Furnace plug-in. Ignorning the DOD or switching off the temporal part of the plug-in would be a temporary workaround until this bug is fixed. Not a bug in 4.0v1.
  3. User Guide. Appendix C needs updating. Not a bug in 4.0v1.

Known Bugs and Workarounds

  1. Nodes containing roto parameters cannot handle multiple rotoshapes. As a workaround, use multiple nodes (1 per rotoshape required).
  2. The roto timeline on some plug-ins is not being refreshed automatically. It can be forced by moving the control context to another node , then back again.
  3. On Mac OS X, installing Furnace more than once results in multiple shortcuts to /usr/local/foundry/FLEXlm being created as /Applications/TheFoundry/FLEXlm, /Applications/TheFoundry/FLEXlm/FLEXlm and so on.

Furnace 3.0v4

This is a maintenance release of Furnace for Shake to fix an optimization bug on Linux.

Release Date

8 September 2006

Bug Fixes

  1. F_WireRemoval - crash if reconstructMethod set to gradient on a floating point image. This has been fixed.

Known Bugs and Workarounds

Release Date

8 July 2005

Requirements

Shake 4.00 on Mac OS X, Linux (RH9). Foundry License Manager 3.1 or later (recommended) Built with licensing library 3.0v7v4

New Features

  1. The Shake help button now launches a basic html help page.
  2. The version number 2.0v3 is now included in the parameter list of the plug-in.

Improvements

Improved timing of the memory allocation enabling more robust handling of large images.

Bug Fixes

There are no fixed bugs.

Known Bugs and Workarounds

  1. F_EdgeMatte - Bug ID 77 - sometimes the cache is wrong. Deleting the cache from the command line will fix the problem.
  2. F_WireRemoval - Bug ID 51 - temporal inpainting output is worng.

Ignorning the DOD or switching off the temporal part of the plug-in would be a temporary workaround until this bug is fixed.
  6. User Guide. Appendix C needs updating.
  7. F_Kronos - BUG ID 179 - if shutterTime > 0 and shutterSamples > 2 (rendering multiple samples) then the F_Kronos node will error and the message "error:: (R2) No such file or directory" will be printed to the shell. If this script is saved and reloaded the parameter warpName will be in error. As a workaround, use the imageName clip in the warpName parameter. Or, if you're feeling brave, edit the file F_Kronos.h (OSX ../shake.app/Contents/PlugIns/startup/F_Kronos.h; Linux ../include/startup/F_Kronos.h) and find this code fragment.

    if(warpName != 0 && warpName != "")
    {
    Initialiser = FileIn( imageName, fileFormat, autoAlpha, deInterlacing);
    } else {
    Initialiser = FileIn( warpName, fileFormat, autoAlpha, deInterlacing);
    }

    and swap the two initialiser lines so that it reads

    if(warpName != 0 && warpName != "")
    {
    Initialiser = FileIn( warpName, fileFormat, autoAlpha, deInterlacing);
    } else {
    Initialiser = FileIn( imageName, fileFormat, autoAlpha, deInterlacing);
    }

Furnace 2.0v3

New Features

Improvements

There are no improvements to existing features.

Bug Fixes

  1. Multiple Ethernet cards on Mac OS X - the Peter Warner Fix - although multiple ethernet cards have been supported on OSX for a while, additional interfaces of a non ethernet type are being returned by OSX. These non ethernet interfaces have a null machine address and cause the plug-ins to crash. The licensing has been updated in this release to safe guard against null machine addresses of insufficient length.
  2. Licensing - BUG ID 108 - plug-ins would crash if there was no license server running. This has been fixed.
  3. F_ScratchRepair - BUG ID 344 - would crash if used on floating point images. This has been fixed.
  4. F_ColourMatte - BUG ID 339 - did not support floating point images correctly. This has been fixed.
  5. F_ReGrain - BUG ID 287 - the test plate background is scaled incorrectly for 16 bit and floating point images. This has been fixed.
  6. F_WireRemoval - BUG ID 249 - produces incorrect output when followed by a crop node. This has been fixed.
  7. F_SmartZoom - BUG ID 202 - floating point values were converted to 16 bit. These are now being handled correctly.
  8. F_SmartPlate - BUG ID 201 - floating point values were converted to 16 bit. These are now being handled correctly.
  9. F_SmartFill - BUG ID 200 - floating point values were converted to 16 bit. These are now being handled correctly.
  10. F_SmartPlate - BUD ID 341 - when using any of the median modes the internal cache is not deleted when the node is deleted or when Shake exits. This has been fixed.
  11. F_BlockTexture - BUG ID 206 - crashed under the following circumstances. Apply BlockTexture, turn temporal consistency off, go to the next frame, switch temporal consistency on and you'd get a crash. This has been fixed.

Known Bugs and Workarounds

  1. F_EdgeMatte - Bug ID 77 - sometimes the cache is wrong. Deleting the cache from the command line will fix the problem.
  2. F_WireRemoval - Bug ID 51 - temporal inpainting output is worng.
  3. Floating Point Support - RigRemoval does not support floating point file formats. All other plug-ins work at floating point.
  4. F_RigRemoval - clips floating point images.

Release Date

26 November 2004.

Requirements

Shake 3.50 on Mac OS X, Linux (RH9) or Irix. Shake 3.01 on Mac OS X, Linux (RH7,8,9). Foundry License Manager 3.1 or later (recommended) Built with licensing library 3.0v7

New Features

There are no new features.

Improvements

  1. Notes on how to install Furnace on Mac OS X to a non-default directory (i.e. not within the Shake directory structure) are included in the pdf user guide introduction.

Bug Fixes

  1. F_DeGrain - BUG ID 175 - the 'tuneRed' control affected the blue and the green channels on the output. This has been fixed.
  2. F_DeGrain - BUG ID 194 - the default DeGrain setup after an analysis was poor, and increasing the tuning to improve the result lead to clipping artifacts in the output. This has been fixed.
  3. F_WireRemoval - BUG ID 196 - in float space, WireRemoval clipped the output values below 0 or above 1. This has been fixed.
  4. F_ScratchRepair - BUG ID 156 - at proxy resolution, the result would be slightly inconsistent with the result at full resolution. This has been fixed.

Known Bugs and Workarounds

  6. F_Kronos - BUG ID 179 - anomolous output from kronos occasionally seen "error:: (R2) No such file or directory".
  7. F_WireRemoval - BUG ID 249 - if this is followed by a Crop node which has a bottom-left corner offset into the image (up and/or to the right), the position of the WireRemoval repair is offset. WireRemoval extracts the correct part of the image for repair, but pastes it back into the wrong location.

  1. Floating Point Support - RigRemoval does not support floating point file formats. All other plug-ins work at floating point.
  2. F_WireRemoval and F_DeGrain. WireRemoval with rolling repair and temporal degrain may render incorrectly if there is a node (DOD) up or downstream that affects the size of the input to the Furnace plug-in. Ignorning the DOD or switching off the temporal part of the plug-in would be a temporary workaround until this bug is fixed.
