+ 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.
