ShaderFX is an advanced plugin for 3ds Max that allows artists to create cutting-edge real-time shaders. When the software was first released, it gave real-time artists the power to put their imagination on the screen and opened the flood gates to the powerful flow of artistic expression. Now with ShaderFX version 2.0, we are adding many new materials, shader nodes and workflow improvements that will greatly improve productivity and quality. We've continued support for 3rd party engines and once again ShaderFX 2.0 is a free upgrade for existing license holders!

 PipelineFX, makers of Qube! software, the leading render farm management software for film production, game development, and digital media education around the world, today announced that it has released support for Autodesk 3ds Max 2008. The new Qube! 3ds Max jobtype will support Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 on both 32 and 64 bit platforms. The jobtype also supports all 3ds Max-compliant renderers, such as Chaos Group’s V-Ray rendering engine.
Qube! ships with an array of standard jobtypes for 2D and 3D applications including Maya, 3D Max, XSI, After Effects, and many more. Many jobtypes contain in-application submission dialogs and can be submitted directly from the Qube!'s GUI, command line, and popular scripting languages. Qube!'s same jobtype framework can also be leveraged to create custom jobtypes or submit simple command line calls. The recently introduced SimpleCmd framework mates the flexibility of the command line with the ease of use of a submission dialog GUI.Comments (1) | Views: 1927 |

 fryrender is the unbiased spectral renderer developed by Feversoft.
All the elements involved in the render (materials, lights, cameras, ...) are based on physically accurate models up to the point that when you hit render a simulation of the real behavior of light happens inside.
This not only leads to the finest quality true-to-life renditions, but also makes the engine very easy to use. Things just look the way they have to once your scene is set up.
Moreover, fryrender is the first engine of its kind capable of transforming scenes into a format that can be navigated in real-time with the aid of our Virtual Reality engine Random Control 4.

 RTTGroup plug-in replaces and extends the render to texture functionality built-in into 3ds Max.
Render to texture (sometimes called texture baking) is a process of creating new materials (textures) for selected objects based on the objects' appearance in the scene with the respect to the lighting, shadow casting, opacity settings, materials and any other parameters affecting the final rendered appearance of a surface of object. The resulting textures can be later used for texturing the same objects in real-time simulations (like 3D games or architecture visualisations), which can't afford for complex operations necessary for achieving many visual effects like lighting and shadowing with many light sources and objects' self illumination and light casting.
