Kuper Tools is a Pre-visualisation tool Designed to accurately mimic the Genuflex MKII Motion Control Rig Made by General Lift.
Kuper Tools is basically GUI, Virtual Rig and Exporter that will export Kuper Data that can be passed over to the motion control operators so their software can interpret your previs into a camera move on set.
Currently the Virtual Rig operates on a Virtual Axis. That is to say, in an IK Fasion. This setup is ideal for creating complex moves that mix different scales (great for miniature photography). An FK option will be available in a later release.
The rig's dimensions can be fully customised while maintaining it's full functionality. This allows for fabrication of the base previs rig to match the motion control operator's specifications.
Some of the Rig's extensions are:
- Short Arm - Long Arm - Underslung Head - Overslung Head - Roll Head - Panasonic HD Varicam Model - Arriflex 35 BL4 Model - Extension Tube
