Realsoft is proud to announce the release of Realsoft 3D version 7, a
professional modeling, rendering and animation software tool. The new
product version improves overall performance of the software and
introduces
a collection of new features covering most program areas.
Some feature highlights of the new version 7:
- Render engine's memory management has been redesigned. The allocated
memory is now split into a common, scene specific part, and to a render
thread specific optimization part. This improves memory management
dramatically in multi-core machines. A dual core system can typically
render
50 % more complex scenes, a quad core 2 times and an eight core system
3-4
times more complex scenes than before.
- Ray tracing is typically 10-20 % faster than V6 with all kinds of
scenes.
- Bottlenecks related to ray tracing detailed polygon models
optimized. One
million face triset model rendered using 16*12 render boxes renders now
almost 10 times faster!
- A new Walkthrough rendering mode for fast rendering of static
(architectural etc.) scenes
- Ray tracing visible measuring objects
- Efficient analytic Lathe and Tube compound tools. Creating rotational
shapes can't get easier.
- Easy Real3D-like Twist tool
- New animation tools: Warp, Noise and Shrink Wrap modifiers
- Motion curve tracker tool
- True volumetric explosions
- New particle tools for surface distribution, emitters, and volume
filling.
The tools provide easy particle flow and lifetime controls.
- Full support for OpenEXR image format
- 2D vector export from viewports (PostScript format supported)
- Automatic density control for snapping grids
A significant part of the development was reserved for making the
existing
features easier to use, bug fixing, improving the quality and consistency
of the product and enhancing its performance. OpenGL drawing has
been optimized better for today's graphics accelerators and render
engine's
architecture has been redesigned for the constantly increasing number of
processor cores. Version 7 is the maturest, best performing Realsoft
product ever.
