“This is a great opportunity to take advantage of HDRI lighting for the ultimate in realism,” says Peter Taylor, ART VPS’s sales director. “PURE and RenderDrive now support HDRI within 3ds max, Alias Maya, and Autodesk VIZ, and Dosch Design provides stunning environments in which to integrate HDRI images.”

“The use of ART VPS hardware with Dosch Design’s HDR images is a huge time-saver when producing high-end computer graphics,” says Sebastian Dosch, president of Dosch Design. “We are pleased to team with ART VPS to bring users powerful tools that add speed and realism to their artwork.”

PURE and RenderDrive feature ART VPS’s modular ray-tracing architecture, which enables 3D rendering to be split across an array of chips. It is the only architecture that can provide full-frame previews in seconds, which speeds up iterations for tasks such as lighting set-up, shot composition and material mapping. PURE and RenderDrive give designers the speed to take advantage of advanced 3D rendering features such as multiple area lights, accurate 3D motion blur and depth of field, secondary illumination, HDRI lighting, and physically based materials, lighting and camera properties.

In addition to its HDRI products, Dosch Design provides a range of CDs and DVDs that include complete 3D models (Dosch 3D), surface materials (Dosch Textures), 2D objects for visualization (Dosch VizImages), animated movie sequences (Dosch Movie-Clips), and music and sound effects (Dosch Audio).
