Maxwell Render is proud to announce its Cutting edge Renderer Releasing on the 26th of April. Maxwell is a new render engine based on the physics of real light. Its algorithms and equations reproduce the behavior of light in a completely accurate way. All of the elements in Maxwell, such as light emitters, material shaders, cameras etc., are entirely based on physically accurate models. Maxwell render plugin is available for various 3D Applications such as 3D Studio Max, ArchiCAD, Solidworks etc.
3Delight is a fast RenderMan®-compliant renderer designed to produce photorealistic images for serious production environments. Some of its features include ray tracing, global illumination, motion blur, depth of field, subdivision surfaces, programmable shaders, quality antialiasing and antialiased multi-depth shadow maps. It is available for a wide variety of platforms, including Windows, MacOS X, Linux and IRIX.
The current version of 3Delight is 5.0. Updates are provided on a regular basis (every 4 to 6 months).
3Delight Background
3Delight was first made publicly available in July of 2000. It had been under development for a few years by a group of software developers. Their rendering experience finds its roots in the early 1980s, while their RenderMan® experience began in the early 1990s.
We prioritize the development of new features for 3Delight based on the needs of our paying customers, some of whom are using it to produce long form animation for the entertainment industry.
Since 3Delight runs on some fairly large render farms (ex. photo1, photo2), render speed has always been a top priority in order to minimize equipment overhead and cost.
Your feedback is appreciated. If you have any specific requirements, please let us know. Your suggestions and requirements have a direct impact on our development priorities.
And if you find you require specific developments immediately (ex. shaders, plug-ins, or even a consultation, etc.), please let us know. We are available for a fee, either hourly or based on a firm quote, to assist you.
You can contact us at info@3delight.com.

CG Cinematics Online - 004
(little project by Eumel3d)
Introduction
While surfing the internet I find a lot of very good cg-animations and trailers/teasers of upcoming cg-movies. It takes a lot of time to hunt for good movies. Thats the reason why I want to share all the found cg-animation-links with you. In a (hopefully) weekly update I will post links to cg-animations with a short introduction and some screenshots.
You are invited to write your opinion to the posted movie and add further links to screenshots and animations according to the current movie-post. I hope that you are as enthusiastic as I am and that you support this little project. - Now have fun with this weeks movie-post:
Prince of Persia - The Two Thrones

In this video, 2 separate features are being shown - 1) the assembly of cooperatively rendered images into a single image and 2) Realtime interactive lighting. The lighting does not require multiple passes - you don’t need a separate file for each light. Even without cooperative rendering, in a standard single-node render, you just automatically have control over the intensity of any and all lights in the scene both during the render or after it’s finished.
This is just a preview of the feature; interface refinements are pending, but the advantage of the system is pretty obvious. For all intents and purposes, you can just set all your lights to some default value and make adjustments as the render progresses, or when it’s done as much as you want to. Caustics, indirect lighting, reflections, everything is controllable in this fashion, not just light intensity.
Authorized by Informatix Software International, this guide will familiarize Piranesi users with all aspects of this highly-acclaimed 3D rendering application. Clearly illustrated, detailed exercises walk you through paintbrushes, textures, cutouts, blending paint, lighting, and non-photorealistic rendering techniques. The book also features contributions from artists on professional techniques and composition.
