Autodesk Lustre features S3D capabilities that enable advanced creative look development by helping give colorists control over color and lighting effects in both stereoscopic and standard grading workflows.

• New support for grading of OpenEXR media files
• RED workflow enhancements: support for RED Rocket through Mac Wiretap Gateway
• Open management of grading metadata

This year, the original developers of Lustre received a Scientific and Engineering Academy Award for design and development of the Lustre technology. First used on the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, Lustre helped usher in a new era of digital intermediates for color grading and look development.
