RenderPipe Supported Applications

For 3dsmax and 3D Studio VIZ users, RenderPipe MAX provides seamless control of PURE and RenderDrive from completely within the MAX/VIZ graphical user interface. ARTVPS has added powerful user interface controls to allow you to efficiently set up complex lighting scenarios and use the sophisticated 'real world' camera features of its products, such as physically accurate depth of field and motion blur.

 

With RenderPipe MAX you can use the materials already supplied in MAX/VIZ along with the physically accurate RenderCoat materials supplied with RenderDrive. You can also bring in RenderMan shaders as well - mixing and matching these materials in any way on your geometry.

 

RenderPipe MAX can be installed and used on as many workstations as you need, to access PURE or RenderDrive over a network, with no per-workstation or per-processor licensing.

 

RenderPipe for Maya is a plug-in that provides seamless integration of PURE and RenderDrive into Alias|Wavefront's Maya application. With RenderPipe for Maya, all of ART VPS's advanced rendering features are available to Maya users. PURE and RenderDrive's physically based rendering environment, including real-world lighting, physically accurate materials, and accurate camera effects, combined with ART VPS's accelerated rendering platforms deliver Maya users unmatched image quality and rendering performance.

 

RenderPipe for Maya also supports the standard materials and features inherent in Maya, thereby minimising any learning requirement and ensuring quick and easy integration into an existing studio environment.
