Frantic Films Software announces the release of Deadline 3.0 SP1. This is primarily a maintenance release that fixes some key issues with the original Deadline 3.0 release. Most importantly, the stability issues with the Windows version of the Deadline Slave have been fixed. In addition, we have added new plugin support for Maya 2009, Toxik 2009, After Effects CS4, Terragen 2, and Rendition. We have also improved the robustness of the XSIBatch plugin, which keeps the XSI scene loaded in memory between frames to reduce rendering overhead. If you are already running Deadline 3.0, you do not need a new license for this maintenance release.

Frantic Films Software unveils its latest release of Deadline, the render queue management tool at this year's annual SIGGRAPH conference in Los Angeles, California.

Krakatoa plays an intricate role in the groundbreaking music video from Radiohead, directed by James Frost, shot entirely with lasers and scanners.
