FluidRay RT 1.0.4 now has Rhino 3d Integration

/in , ,

We are glad to announce the release of the first of a series of FluidRay RT integration plugins for the major 3d modeling applications.
The first plugin released is FluidRay RT for Rhinoceros 3D. Remember to update the FluidRay RT application as well. Download Page.
Rhinoceros 3D integration plugin

With FluidRayRhino integration plugin for Rhinoceros you can now create photo-realistic renderings in just a few seconds from inside Rhino.

  • Rhino materials and textures are used directly in your renderings
  • You can also use the extensive list of materials, textures and lighting environments from the FluidRay RT library
  • All changes in made inside Rhino are updated in real-time in the render window
  • All additional FluidRay information is stored directly inside the Rhino file

FluidRay RT 0.9.9 Released

/in , ,

We just released FluidRay RT 0.9.9, you can get it in the download page.
This version adds a ton of new features, in particular:

  • Unbiased real-time volumetrics with multiple scattering
  • Real-time image post-processing, allowing to change rendering output on the fly without starting over the rendering. Same of the operations available: Tone mapping, Color scaling, Image compositing, Auto-saving
  • A bunch of importing bugs have been removed

We also added a couple of tutorials to illustrate the new features:
