cebas Visual Technology Inc. announces the immediate release of its 9th and latest Service Pack for finalRender 3.5 SE as well as for the integrated and standalone finalToon 3.5. Features in Service Pack 9 are mainly bugfixes – but the developer has also changed its licensing model for the 3ds Max-compatible renderer, quadrupling the number of cores each licence supports. The new finalRender license model includes a massive giveaway of 4 times more core power! Now, users can get up to 64 Local Cores/Threads AND up to 64 Core/Threads for Distributed Network Rendering (instead of 16/16 with the old license model). This major upgrade radically increases the return of investment for any existing and future finalRender installation.
