Mirage
Paint •
Animate • Effect
Bauhaus Mirage is a unified environment
that simplifies the creation of animated graphics and special effects.
Combining real-time video paint, animation, and effects functionality
into a single product, Mirage centralizes the workflow for visual
effects production in film, video, broadcast, and cartoon/2D animation.
Mirage's intuitive interface and common-sense workflow transcend
the digital, focusing on the what - rather than the how, and incorporating
the artist directly into the production they're creating. Designed
for projects of any resolution, ranging from HDTV and Film to web
video, Mirage provides a simple, powerful alternative to expensive
proprietary solutions and complex software workflows

Feature
Highlights
Subpixel
Accurate Paint System
As you paint with any of the natural
media tools in Mirage, a 16-bit grayscale mask of the stroke
is created in the background. When you release the mouse button,
the mask is blended with the drawing colour to create the
image. This 16-bit mask much more accurate than if we only
used an 8-bit mask, making your edges crisp, clean, and sub-pixel
accurate. All of this happens in realtime, so there is no
waiting to see what you have created.

FX
Stack
The new FX Stack in Mirage is the ultimate tool for those
who create using multi-effects. Effects can be added to the
stack in any order you like. There is a realtime preview that
shows what you get, before you commit. You can reorder the
effects into different positions in the stack for a multitude
of effect possibilities. All of the effect parameters are
available in the stack. You can even save out FX Stack settings
in bins for use later or to share with your friends.

Volumetric
Lighting
Volumetric Lighting uses
the image itself to shape and colour the illumination. The
images colours and opacity can variously filter, tint, or
mask the rays emanating from the filter's virtual light source.
Mirage's Volumetric Lighting is fully interactive and animatable.

Integrated
Particle System
Mirage's integrated particle system
is a great way to add particles and effects to any project.
Video producers can do all sorts of glitzy effects, from 'pixie
dust' to dazzling text treatments. Animators can use it to
add smoke trails, billowy pyrotechnics, flowing water (or
lava), falling snow or flying chimps to their work! Of course,
all parameters are animatable.
