ARTVPS release AV6

Even faster rendering times and 64-bit support are just two of the exciting new features available in the RenderPipe AV6 software release, unveiled today by ARTVPS.
 
In addition to enhancing existing elements of its leading RenderPipe software, ARTVPS has introduced new tools in this version, including Quicktime object movie output, which enables the exploration of 3D objects from multiple viewing angles, and a preview of its hardware accelerated Global illumination solution.
 
RenderPipe is ARTVPS’ industry standard ray tracing software renderer. Developed to run on ARTVPS’ specialist rendering devices such as RayBox, it has an intuitive and robust workflow that dramatically speeds up the production of high quality, photorealistic 3D images.
 

 
Optimized to accelerate data transfer between RenderPipe and RayBox, AV6 gives users even faster rendering through the new desktop system. This latest release also supports both 3dsmax 9 (64-bit) and Maya 8.5 (32 and 64 bit), giving users increased power to create the highest quality images.
 
Brian Tyler, CEO at ARTVPS, said: “We constantly strive to ensure our technology delivers the ultimate in 3D image creation. This latest release forms part of our ongoing development work. It introduces some exciting new tools for users and builds on our existing strengths, such as unsurpassed speed when rendering large and complex images. Following hot on the heels of our recent launch of RayBox, this latest software release is yet another sign of our unwavering commitment to providing the best technology available to anyone wanting to create truly realistic imagery”.

Additional features of the AV6 software release include:
  • Speed: In addition to users of RayBox, RD6400 and PURE PCi-X users will also experience an increase in rendering speed.
  • Increased HDR and texture file limits: Render more complex HDR environments and scene textures to add even more realism to final images.
  • Multiple RenderDrive/RayBox support: It’s now possible to render up to 20 ARTVPS devices simultaneously.
  • Global Illumination (Beta): AV6 includes a development version of ARTVPS’ global illumination feature.
 
NOTE TO NEWSDESK:  Since the release of AV6 ARTVPS have changed the name of their RenderPipe software to the 'ART' renderer.  This name change will be reflected in the next release of their AV software.
