All the changes introduced into this latest release of finalRender made it the renderer of choice for Uncharted Territory. Many first of a kind features and unique tools have been developed to cope with this extremely demanding production environment, allowing for complete flexibility and fast turnaround times from start to finish. One of the most challenging tasks was the creation of a completely new Render Passes system able to outperform the built-in system of 3ds Max. Handling of 100+ Render Elements per frame was a big task that had to be solved. 3ds Max has a built-in maximum of 32 Render Elements per frame which had to be overcome by finalRender Studio Edition, as well as addressing the problem of the extra amount of memory needed for so many Render Elements. finalRender Studio Edition is packed full of explosive power, ready to get unleashed for all of your demanding rendering tasks - waiting for you out there. finalRender SE is complete! It is the first rendering system for 3ds Max that comes with finalToon R3 and pyroCluster 3.5 and all available former finalShaders with unlimited network rendering. No other rendering system on the market offers this kind of completeness when it is about rendering large scale images.To learn more about finalRender R3 SE and about the differences to the standard version follow the link: about finalRender R3 SE
