ArtVPS has notched up more than 800 downloads of Shaderlight 0.1, the pre-release version of its interactive Shaderlight rendering plug-in for 3ds Max from Autodesk. Shaderlight enables visualization specialists to change key elements of a full resolution image at any stage of the rendering process without having to re-render, improving efficiency and project turnaround. Users are not only able see the progressive refinement of a scene when objects or camera angles are altered but can also make interactive changes to materials, environments, lights and textures (the MELT elements) on full-quality 3D images. Additionally, a new approach to global illumination (GI) enables light, color, and intensity to be updated on screen without the need to re-render.
