Using industry standard vertex cache files in Alembic, LightWave MDD, or Autodesk Geometry Cache formats you can easily paint out errors on your dynamic simulations or even completely change the look of a character either with layered sculpting “clips” in the timeline or globally to affect every frame in your cache animation.ĬhronoSculpt also allows you to export any frame from your sculpt or deformation directly to a LightWave Endomorph or OBJ object file (for blend shapes in Autodesk Maya).ĬhronoSculpt could potentially save you hours of work by allowing you to quickly make changes to the baked dynamic simulation cache files to address simulation jitter, soft body penetrations, or to remove stray simulation pieces and get the shot out the door. ChronoSculpt also introduces a radical new geometry engine based on our “Hydra” technology which allows the deformation and manipulation of 8 to 10 million polygon objects with ease. OctaneRender™ produces stunningly life-like images of the highest possible quality, making it the ultimate rendering solution for architectural visualization, product design and 3D animation rendering.ĬhronoSculpt is a powerful new stand-alone application that revolutionizes working with animation and dynamic simulation cache files from any application by allowing you to use sculpting and transformation tools over time. To render even faster, OctaneRender™ can leverage remote GPUs on render slaves connected via the network. OctaneRender™ also sports a Local DB asset folder structure for an organized workspace and the Live DB for shared and pre-defined nodes and assets. Along with its implementation of OpenSubDiv surfaces, artists take advantage of Pixar's powerful library for fast refinement of subdivision surfaces. The render engine facilitates the visualization process by providing essential features including Displacement Mapping, Object Motion Blur, Vertex motion blur, Hair and Fur Render Primitives, Rounded Edges, Random Color Texture for Instances, HDRI + Sun, Stereo Rendering Modes, Region Rendering, and more. Praised by some of Hollywood’s top visual effects artists and directors for its quality, speed and versatility, OctaneRender™ has been used in the development of a number of blockbuster films.
Its real-time 3D scene editing allows artists to change camera viewpoints, lights, materials, and object positions. Thanks to its intuitive workflow, OctaneRender™ is incredibly easy to use. It is fully GPU-accelerated and renders images at extreme speeds of up to 50x faster traditional unbiased renderers. OctaneRender™ is the world's first GPU-based, unbiased, physically-based renderer, empowering artists, designers, and engineers to create the most realistic renders quickly.
