iToo Software has announced the release of RailClone 5, the latest version of its parametric modelling and layout tool for 3ds Max. With version 5, several new features have been added that significantly improve RailClone’s potential for scene assembly. For example, until now, RailClone was limited to distributing geometry, but it is now equally able to instance and distribute several types of non-geometrical objects, including lights and VDBs. Scene optimisation gets a boost in this release with a brand new caching system that allows you to bake a RailClone object. The cached object retains all of the features and efficiency of the regular RailClone object but will have significantly reduced compute times making loading and saving much faster. A second mode allows you to save the cache to an external file that keeps a scene’s file size light. Users can also load the caches into another RailClone object, even in a different scene, for the easy and fast re-use of massive pre-computed as...

MxTools has released CablePlacer , a new tool for 3ds Max 2013 and above for modelling cables based on splines. Features include the ability to save and load cable items to a library with thumbnails, and adjust their size, the ability to construct cable nodes in a variety of ways using several parameters, the ability to replace geometry with a cable node, the ability to extract a spline from the geometry, the ability to draw a shape in screen space or by conforming to a surface, and the ability to manipulate cables by adjusting their position, rotation, scale, and twist. The plugin includes several preset cables with UV’s and materials that are ready to use. Find out more on Gumroad . Super Renders Farm is a 3DS Max render farm fully based in the cloud. Our software integrates with 3DS Max and connects you with the farm through a simple plugin. Plus, you have 24/7 support service with real human who will support you whenever you encounter an issue.

1. How to estimate the price of the project To get a quick estimate, you can use our Cost Calculator . Remember though, all projects are varied and very different depending on how complicated your files are. It’s only an approximation and for your reference only and it only works for animations. To get a more accurate estimate, we highly recommend running a test job with few typical frames using Incremental Step* For example: If you fill in 1 in the incremental step box , frame 0, 1,2,3,4,5 ,…etc will be rendered If you fill in 100 in the incremental step box , frame 0, 100,200 …etc will be rendered Besides, There are some different points you should keep in mind between SuperRendersFarm and Local Rendering On your local When you look at the frame render time on your local machine and see it takes 5 minutes for example, it might be different once you render the same frame here. On our farm Our system needs to load your scene first, open scene, render, save the result,…All of those...

Golaem has announced the release of the latest version of its crowd animation software for Maya. Version 8 introduces real-time simulation in Unreal Engine. increases the crowd previsualization quality inside the Maya viewport while maintaining performances, and brings new Layout layers enabling users to populate and customise a scene faster.

SiNi Software has announced the release of version 1.24 of its suite of tools and plugins for 3ds Max. The main improvement in this update is the addition of support for Redshift and Chaos’ V-Ray Scene (.vrscene) file format. The 3 plugins – Desipher, Scatter and SiClone – support standard Redshift rendering only in this release, with IPR promised soon. The Illumi HDRI wizard has been updated to include a new setup tab to allow users to add multiple file paths to HDRI libraries. The previews now include exposure settings to view library images more accurately. Illumi also now includes support for Redshift. This includes standard Redshift rendering and IPR. In addition, the plugins include full support for V-Ray 5.2 interactive rendering as well as supporting the V-Ray Scene file format to share assets with other applications that run V-Ray, including Chaos cloud rendering services and Chaos Vantage.

Autodesk has released Arnold 7.0, the latest version of the production renderer, adding support for Open Image Denoise, extending the post-processing framework, and reducing memory usage in Arnold GPU. The update also significantly extends USD workflows, adding support for deep AOVs and light linking; adds support for MaterialX 1.38; and makes ACEScg the default colour space for rendering. Support for Open Image Denoise The 7.0 update makes Arnold the latest renderer to integrate Open Image Denoise (OIDN), Intel’s AI-trained CPU-based render denoising framework. It is provided in parallel with Arnold’s old CPU-based denoiser and Nvidia’s GPU-based OptiX denoiser. Both the OIDN and OptiX denoisers can make use of Arnold 7.0’s new denoise_albedo_noisy AOV, which adds specular reflections and refactions to the albedo, potentially improving denoising quality. Post-processing: new imager for colour correction, support for LUT-based looks Arnold 7.0 also expands the framework of ‘imager’ pos...
