Shooting and compositing tool that satisfies requirements for a variety of expressions and high speed rendering. CoreRETAS is a tool for carrying out the shooting process in animation production.

The tool allows each of the separate materials such as backgrounds and painted cels to be gathered together at the shooting stage to create one scene. Using X-sheets, CoreRETAS HD allows each of the materials to be arranged in the optimum positions and timing for carrying out the shooting with the addition of a variety of production effects.

CoreRETAS HD allows the camera work processes, which were previously carried out using cels and film, to be similarly recreated on the personal computer as a "digital camera stand".

The CoreRETAS HD offers various new features such as:
1.Powerful camera work function including motion path, parent-child pegbars, 3D camera work.
2.Stress-free high-speed operation realized by higher speed rendering.
3.Filters for special effects to provide enhanced screen presentation.
4.Supporting both raster and vector images formats.
