RHINO LIVE integrates the Arion technology right into McNeel's Rhinoceros 3D 5.0. With it you can benefit from the power of physically-based, unbiased and GPU accelerated rendering from within your native Rhinoceros 3D environment. Beside the key features of the physically-based renderer, native Rhinoceros 3D plug-in, displacement, instancing and photo-realistic materials the integration tears down the obstacles which can occurs using another renderer and allows to work naturally and comfortably inside Rhinoceros 3D. Because RHINO LIVE is based on the Arion technology it takes advantages of all the compatible (CPU+GPU) hardware inside your computer. Besides the main key features which you get using the Arion technology, RHINO LIVE integrates a new interactive display window called IAD (Interactive Arion Display).

OTOY released a new stable version of their GPU based renderer, Octane Render 1.1 standalone. With current GPU technology, Octane Render can produce final images 10 to 50 times faster than CPU unbiased render engines, or even more with multiple GPUs (depending on the GPU(s) used). The new release comes with a large number of exciting features between which belongs the HDRI Environment Importance sampling which significantly reduce noise in scenes where most light is coming from the environment. Next, a new daylight model was implemented together with some post-processing effects such s glare and bloom which expand the possibilities of Octane Render even more. If you would like to know more about this great renderer you can check our review where we not only discussed the features and possibilities of Octane Render but also compared the speed and the results among the major renderers on the market.
Luxion, a leading developer of advanced rendering and lighting technology and maker of KeyShot®, the first real time ray tracing and global illumination program, is pleased to announce KeyShot 4.
Luxion’s internally developed rendering technology continues to bring speed and accurate lighting to renderings, animations and interactive visuals for 3D professionals across many industries. They focused on the features and updates that users have requested over the last few releases of KeyShot with new user interface updates, more render options and new presets, materials and lighting that aid in working with 3D data throughout the entire product design process.
