 Image Sculpturer is a new application for creating 3d objects from ordinary 2d images. The main difference to other image based modeling tools is that Image Sculpturer does not use an automatic approach for transforming images in 3d space. Instead the main idea of Image Sculpturer is to let the user do this analogous task in a very effective and intuitive fashion because the human is in the interpretation of images unbeatable. As a result Image Sculpturer should be much more flexible than other image-based modeling tools.  Be first to comment this article | Views: 2685

 Ozone 3 is a complete and unique solution for creating multi-faceted atmospheres in Lightwave 3D, Cinema4D, 3ds Max, Maya and XSI.
Ozone 3.0 features an elaborate atmosphere engine that does much more than create extremely realistic sky pictures. Ozone’s atmospheres provide an accurately simulated environment that affects all the elements of the scene, and behave according to nature’s rules. The appearance of an object in your scene is directly affected by the position of the sun, the cloud cover, the amount of dust in the air, or the humidity level.

 Amleto has been updated to v3.0.1. Amleto is a network rendering tool (render-farm) that enables to render lightwave animations or single frames across multiple computers. It is intended to be as simple to use and setup as possible. You do not need to know much about networks, instead we use our own file transfer protocol to share files between the computers.
With Amleto you do not need to modify config files, setup shared drives, or install Lightwave on more than one computer. Everything will be done automatically for you.

 Indigo v0.9 Stable Released. Indigo is a free, actively developed, physically-based unbiased render engine.
Employing advanced features such as Metropolis Light Transport, Spectral light calculus, a virtual camera model, physical sky and more, Indigo can achieve much more realistic results than traditional GI raytracers.
Indigo does not need any render parameters like GI samples, AO samples, AA samples, Soft shadows, etc, and complicated lightning setups to achieve realistic results.
Indigo is free for non- and commercial use, but as of writing is not open-source.
