Imagineer Systems have launched a new point release for its mocha family of powerful, standalone 64-bit tracking and roto tools built on its award winning Planar Tracker. With this new point release, mocha, mocha AE and mocha Pro v2.6 now features more powerful and flexible roto export features for Nuke artists, significantly improved performance on the Windows platform, and a number of additional performance optimization and stability improvements. As a result of these new features, mocha artists can export mocha roto shapes directly to Nuke v6.2 with a 1:1 keyframe relationship, allowing significantly greater editing control within Nuke.

Imagineer Systems works closely with customers to identify opportunities for enhanced performance and workflow flexibility and speed, resulting in mocha v2.6. In addition to providing VFX artists significant time savings and more streamlined workflows, the new feature enhancements in mocha v2.6 also support the increasing worldwide demand for efficient and tightly integrated solutions for 2D-3D stereo conversion workflows and visual effects productions. As well, After Effects artists will see measurable performance benefits from significantly faster planar tracking in exports in mocha AE running on Windows.

Based in Los Angeles and Mumbai, Imagineer customer ICO VFX has built a pipeline based around mocha and mocha Pro for their high quality feature film stereo conversion workflow. ICO VFX has already taken advantage of the new enhancements in mocha and mocha Pro v2.6 and had this to say about what they‘ve found:

"ICO VFX has already incorporated mocha v2.6 into our stereo conversion pipeline with great results. The improved Nuke roto export has made our process much more efficient, as have tracking speed increases," said Chris Holmes, CEO, ICO VFX.
