AE Render Manager - Freeware


+ AE Render Manager is an Adobe After Effects™ command-line interface GUI for Windows users. The reason behind it is that many projects will render faster using command-line rather than firing up After Effects, which uses considerably more resources. Setting up a render through the command line can become an insanely tedious task, especially if you use it on a daily basis. AE Render Manager makes it simple and easy. And it’s so much more than that. The true power of AE Render Manager lies in its integration with Backburner, allowing you to use multiple computers on the network to render your project(s) at once. Even without access to a render farm, users can still use Backburner with AE Render Manager to assign different After Effects render jobs on a single computer. Without After Effects having to run while rendering, AE Render Manager maximizes system resources and significantly speeds up your renders. If that’s not fast enough, complete Backburner integration means you can have several network computers rendering just one project.

Ozone 5 Now Shipping


+ e-on software, makers of leading solutions and technologies for Digital Nature, today announced immediate availability of version 5 of Ozone, its atmospheric plugin for 3ds Max, Maya, Softimage, Cinema4D, and LightWave.
Ozone 5 – Hyper-Realistic 3D Atmospheres
Ozone 5 implements the Spectral 3™ cutting-edge technologies developed by e-on software for the simulation and rendering of atmospheric effects. Ozone 5 atmospheres provide an accurately simulated environment that affects all scene elements and behaves according to nature’s rules.
Based entirely on real-world atmospheric behavior, the Spectral 3™ engine produces ultra-realistic environments with volumetric clouds, accurate light dispersion and natural phenomena such as Godrays. This technology realistically models the behavior of our planet's atmosphere to produce all kinds of atmospheric effects.
- New support for V-Ray and advanced support for MentalRay renderers:
Ozone 5 is fully compatible with MentalRay's specific technologies, such as Sun&Sky, Photometric Lights, Distributed Bucket Rendering, etc. Ozone 5 is also fully compatible with V-Ray's specific Sun and Sky technologies.
- Super-fast rendering technology:
Despite the staggering complexity of the atmospheric model it features, Ozone 5 renders its atmospheric effects at blazing speed, thanks to e-on software’s highly optimized technology.
- Cloud Cross Shadowing:

Ozone contains break-through algorithms that are capable of rendering extremely detailed volumetric clouds and their associated shadows at an incredible pace. Cloud cross shadowing is fully user controllable allowing clouds to cast shadows on each other.
- Extensive library of over 150 predefined atmospheres:

Ozone 5 includes presets for all kinds of atmospheric conditions: bright daytime, bad weather, sunrise, sunset, night time, etc. Customize the atmosphere using dedicated tools and the library of over 140 preset cloud shapes.
A complete and detailed presentation of Ozone 5 is available at:

3Delight V3 for Softimage


+ 3Delight for Softimage is a fully integrated rendering plug-in for Autodesk® Softimage® 3D Animation Software. It achieves seamless integration into Softimage, without any compromises in workflow, and brings a higher level of rendering performance and capabilities otherwise unavailable to the Softimage user base. 3Delight is the first third party renderer to achieve full integration inside Softimage and the only renderer to bring the RenderMan standard to the Softimage user base.The most important benefits are:
- Significantly faster rendering of motion-blur and depth of field (up to tenfold)

- Significantly faster rendering of Hair and Fur (up to fivefold)
- Ability to use displacements extensively with negligible impact on performance
- Ability to handle much larger scenes using significantly less memory
- Better quality rendering with perfectly smooth subdivision surfaces
- Proven RenderMan standard with RIB import/export and RSL shaders
- Network caching for efficient bandwidth utilization while rendering on a render farm
