Nice, thanks for the upgrade pricing! I bought Lockdown 2 a while back and have never fully had time to get into it. This is an instant upgrade having just gotten my Maxon One subscription going. :)
A few updates down the line (especially with advancements in AI), I could see this turning into a post hoc photogrammetry tool. Getting entire 3D models from 2D footage.
Came here to ask about potential Blender support like half of the commenters, and I'm happy to see it's already supported! Would have been nice to mention in the video though ;)
Hi Chris, fantastic update as always. One question though, will there be another upgrade tier for people who bought Lockdown before Feb 2023 BUT have also purchased paint link and composite brush? Thanks!
Man I'm sorry to say these were all done back in 2019, before Ai really got to that level. So all of these style transfers were brute force tracking! Id go to a frame, paint it, track it, when it starts to break down after a dozen tracked frames, paint that frame and make a new track with it with a new mesh. I think the fastest way in 2023 would be to use some fully automated AI style transfer WITHOUT Lockdown. Then assess the distortions and inaccuracies (because they'll be there!) Then use Lockdown to very specifically fix the bad areas. You would probably only have to use lockdown for characters faces, which humans are super sensitive to the details of. Most background stuff you probably would barely need to touch
@@rokah1391 To be honest, not very much. We did add a new tracking algorithm, however that's still in beta. It's nice to be able to export nulls directly to Ae though! There were a few minor improvements to the 2D workflow, but they're mostly performance and speed improvements. Sorry if that is disappointing to 2D animators out there, but this tool was definitely fully focused on 3D this time around.
Do you have a software license for teachers or a monthly subscription option? Not everyone can afford that price, honestly couldn't even afford photoshop since version 3 until they started to do a subscription service.
Amazing! Hows the workflow for Maya or Houdini with ABC? Looks like great integration with C4D and exporting back to After Effects with Cineware. Would the workflow be the same with an ABC coming from maya with textures?
The alembic contains a camera, the animated mesh, the user created transforms, and a background plane. To use it in Maya (or any application with alembic) you have to manually create the material and apply an image sequence to it. You also have to set the material to project through the work camera onto the mesh. So there are a few extra steps, but it should all be possible.
At this moment, we aren't planning to. There wasn't as much interest in Lockdown from the Fusion/Resolve crowd as you might think. But if we see growing interest, we'd consider it.
Hi!! Anyone knows how to import Mocha mesh data for Lockdown 2.8.7? It doesn’t have the update of import Mocha/Face tracker directly yet and I scrambled all over trying to find out how to do that. I have exported abc file and tapped alembic under Lockdown pop out panel but it says not supported ://
Ooe that looks nice! Paintlink is going to be cool!
Exporting to Blender would be awesome for our workflow!
PLEASE please PLEASE add a Blender export! This looks awesome!
Yeeeeessss!
this would be huge! 🙏🙏
Pleaseeee!!
But if you think about it, since you have access to depth alphas generated, if you can export that, you can easily use it as displacement in blender
YESSS PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!

This is beyond incredible!!!!!!
As always, fantastic work Chris. Super curious to experiment v3 in my face comps. 👏🏻

Chris you ve done it again! This is incredible !!!!
I would Love te see a Blender export option!
Love the C4D integration
Hey everyone demanding blender compatibility, if you clicked the link you'd see it's compatible with Blender 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0
I am very happy that you can link nulls to the tracks now

Awesome! Is it possible to make blender export?
absolutely fudging incredible.
This is incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Any blender export :D
Well done guys, It looks amazing
超酷的～👍

blender when?
Any tutorials or resources explaining how to get really good style transfer results like the ones shown here?

Fucking stunned, yall
Holy shit, incredible! Will this be available for fusion?
Looks amazing congratulations! I don't see a v2.0 to v3.0 upgrade price on AEscripts. WIll this be added at some stage for existing customers?
It will be added, it may take a few hours as we roll everything out!
Actually, you may have to log in before it shows as visible to you.
@@ChrisVranos what does it change for people that only use lockdown in 2D i mean in after effect?

Can’t wait to try this ! Huge lockdown fan

How do you add a new layer? All I can see is Layer 1
Hello please could you explain or send a link that explains the 3 difference licenses for lock down 3 and the perks with them. I haven't found them.

@@ChrisVranos Also with Blender, I suppose?
We need this for Nuke! PLEASE!!!
wow !!!
Very cool. Would be helpful to be able to export to Blender, not just C4D. Thank you
Awesome! Is this coming for Resolve?
At this moment, we aren't planning to. There wasn't as much interest in Lockdown from the Fusion/Resolve crowd as you might think. But if we see growing interest, we'd consider it.
Dude. This is incredible. When is Adobe going to buy you out and make you a billionaire LOL
hell yeah
Any reason why my Lockdown would not track at all? Any version of lockdown just isn't working on my PC atm. Would appreciate the assist. Thanks!
Please send in a help ticket with a description, collected project, or screen capture!
F***. Yes. 🤘🤘🤘
Waiting for a straight export to blender)
👏👏👏👏
how to track camera using it
y only c4D ... make is common for all 3D tools?
what about us blender users?

this really needs to be a nuke plugin
Would it work well with element3d?
I haven't tried it yet, but because it exports to null objects, I'm sure it would! You can give it a shot with the free trial.
@@ChrisVranos thanks, I think I'll give that a shot
sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh
and the price is more then full studio verson of da vinci resolve or year subscription of adobe. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
you jusst dont know
@@user-ii3zc3tb8c same to you 😁
Mocha Pro RIP? XD
