OTHER FEATURES OF KEPLER 7:

TREASURE MAPS:
Treasure Maps, like AstroMaps with blue-shaded orbs, show how far an astrological influence extends, but go yet another step: with a Treasure Map you can see precisely what areas are highlighted for areas of interest, such as Love and Romance, or Vocation and Career!
Treasure Maps contain areas that are shaded from pale yellow to bright red, showing how strong the astrological influences are. Treasure Maps are not only beautiful; they also provide you and your clients with the information you want: you can see what areas are most conducive to the things that interest you most.
Treasure Maps utilize very sophisticated astrological techniques that provides you with accurate and useful information. You can also customize the astrological influences that are analyzed to produce the Treasure Map and other AstroMaps in Kepler.
Love and Romance
Vocation and Career
Friendship and Family
Imagination and Inspiration
Excitement and Instability Maps.
Education and Communication
Culture and Creativity
Optimism and Opportunity
Responsibility and Focus
Detailed Friendship and Family

WHEELS:
Kepler can produce many different kinds of chart wheels. The samples shown here are just a few of the many possibilities, and you can also customize chart wheels in countless ways.
Kepler allows you to change the size of the chart wheel, the way in which cusps are drawn and planets are placed in the wheel, colors, what tables appear, you can merge graphics onto the wheel, which planets appear in the wheel and the tables, how much information to put in the aspect grid, etc.
You can now produce chart wheels with essential dignities, almuten, and conjunctions to fixed star tables, and you can also select a square chart wheel, if you wish, as well as many other features that are used in medieval and hellenisticastrology.

There are several new wheel styles. You can now produce wheels that have planets in the inner ring and minor asteroids in the outer ring; this is the Asteroid Wheel. You can also select a Fixed Star Wheel (fixed stars in the outer ring), Arabic Parts wheel (Arabic Parts in the outer ring) or Midpoint Wheel (midpoints in the outer ring). In the Asteroid Wheel you can have up to 50 asteroids in the outer ring, and the asteroid glyphs can be if desired and an asteroid glyph is available, and there is also a table below the wheel that shows which asteroid has which glyph. Of course, you can customize the wheel if you like.Kepler includes over 1,000 asteroids to choose from and if you own the optional 30,000 Asteroids CD you can place virtually any asteroid desired in the wheel. The Fixed Star Wheel and Arabic Parts Wheel are similar in concept with the additional points being in the outer ring of the wheel.

[HF] Boujou 4.0.1


Overview

boujou 4 is the latest version of the Emmy award-winning, industry-standard camera and object tracking solution.

Powewrful containing a set of new features coupled with the same fast and robust automatic tracking, boujou 4 enables you to exploit everything in the shot.

boujou 4 is available to purchase now.


FASTER, BETTER CAMERA SOLVES
An Improved solver, more feedback and more tools enable you to exploit everything in the shot. Solve from an approximate camera path boujou 4 can Improve an Existing camera path by filling in the Gaps or by Optimizing the camera position.


MODEL-BASED CAMERA AND OBJECT TRACKING
Object tracking if you don t have much parallax in a shot it can be Difficult to get a good camera solve. boujou 4 enables you to import 3D objects. By Importing 3D objects camera solves can then be created based on the correspondence Between a feature tracks and faces of a polygon mesh.

Survey points Import survey information in the form of a 3D mesh to Improve the accuracy of a 3D solve.

Eyeballing Very occasionally boujou can not get the camera position correct. boujou 4 enables you to import a 3D object to eyeball the approximate camera positions in Certain frames. boujou can then work out the camera position in the whole shot.


Import and Export 3D Meshes
Import your test objects is ASSESS the quality of your shots. Export a 3D mesh of the 3D points in boujou Calculated Enabling you to create shadow casting objects or 3D terrain.


Scripting AND EXTENDED COMMAND SET
Access boujou's Core Functionality with embedded scripting. Create your own import and export formats.

Control the number of 3D points generated by boujou. Reduce the number of 3D points So that only the most accurate are EXPORTED. Export more 3D points to make a more Detailed mesh.


GUI Improvements
boujou 4's interface has been re-designed for a much Smoother workflow
