finalRender Stage-0 for 3ds max 6



(Eppelheim, Germany– January 27, 2004) - cebas Computer GmbH, today announced the release of finalRender® Stage-0 for 3ds max® 6. finalRender Stage-0 for 3ds max 6 represents the new entry level to the world of advanced rendering and raytracing technology. First introduced to 3ds max 4, the product has evolved in 2.5 years into a grown up, production proven raytracing and rendering system, that can do way more than ultra fast raytracing and Global Illumination in 3ds max.

finalRender Stage-0 includes, for example, the full blown and enhanced LumaObject™, the legendary “Swiss knife” of 3D rendering technology for 3ds max users. finalRender object lights (formerly known as LumaObject) enable the user to render even the most complex indirect illumination situations in no time at all. LumaObject was developed back in 1997 and it is constantly enhanced and refined, it is one of the most successful and robust rendering technologies for 3ds max and in combination with all the advanced raytracing features in finalRender, it has become the quasi standard for fast and efficient animated radiosity renderings. Throughout the years it was used in several block buster movie productions (e.g. “Lost in Space”) and hundreds of TV series around the globe.


“The cebas team has again shown how committed they are to their customers by providing finalRender Stage-0 release for 3ds max 6. Best of all, these users' investment into finalRender will not be lost, as any registered user can upgrade anytime to the full blown finalRender Stage-1 rendering system.” says Beau Pershall , Vice President of Publishing at Turbo Squid.

• All new 3ds max 6 optimized volume light Render Effect
