Designed to combine the best in performance and creative tools with advanced configurability, Lustre can be adapted for the most demanding workflows.

Autodesk Lustre is available for the Microsoft® Windows® and Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® operating systems.

Autodesk® Incinerator® technology uses the latest in high-performance, computing cluster technology to significantly increase the real-time performance, interactivity, and render speeds of Lustre systems during digital grading sessions. Based on industry-standard components, Incinerator is intended to provide better long-term costs, performance benefits, and greater scalability.

Lustre with Incinerator is available for the Linux operating system.

Bring Your Vision to Life

Lustre gives you the creative tools you need to build a look that establishes your unique vision, or sells your client’s ideas with maximum impact. Shape the audience experience by using complex selections to isolate parts of the shot you need to draw out, and highlight.

Production-Proven Nonlinear Color Grading

Compare multiple shots anywhere in your sequence to maintain continuity of color and lighting across your entire timeline. Quickly jump between shots, and see them side by side in different contexts. With a nonlinear workflow, and fast, high-quality image processing pipeline, you have time to do more by experimenting with as many grades, and variations, you like.

Produce High-Quality Results in Real Time

Autodesk Lustre is available in different configurations to meet your performance and budget requirements.

• Lustre takes advantage of the NVIDIA® graphical processing unit (GPU) to accelerate SD, HD, and 2K grading functions. Offering a very attractive price-to-performance balance, Lustre is designed for creativity and interactivity without the need for proprietary hardware.
• For even greater 2K interactivity during digital grading sessions, Autodesk Incinerator uses central processing unit (CPU) clustering to offer an unmatched combination of scalability and performance without the need for proprietary hardware.

Streamlined Concurrent Workflows

Take advantage of the flexibility of the Lustre system to build open and scalable collaborative color grading workgroups. Save time with Autodesk® Wiretap® technology, an advanced application programming interface (API) that allows Lustre to access media, clips, and timelines in Autodesk® Smoke® or Autodesk® Flame® software without duplicating media or transferring media across the network
