image by Patrick Beaulieu
+ hairfx is an sophisticated fur and hair solution for Autodesk's® 3ds Max. Being the successor to the popluar Shag: Fur and Shag: Hair plug-ins, it's now much more evolved and offers various advanced tools including a new anti-aliasing engine to help produce smooth, non-jagged hair and fur strands, a new Cloth Mesh converter to support reactor® 2, clothfx, and SimCloth's. As part of the Autodesk Certified 3ds Max Plug-in program, hairfx now also offers bucket-based rendering support for rendering technologies including finalRender Stage-1 and VRay. This helps conserve memory over the default stripe size rendering for Scanline scenes with these powerful renderers. Composite shadows from light sources can easily generate hairfx shadows in addition to shadows specific to tools like V-Ray and finalRender.

finalToon™ for 3ds Max 9

+ cebas Computer, maker of finalRender®, today announces the finalToon™ update for 3ds Max 9. All users that purchased finalToon™ within the last 2 months will get this update for free. This update will give previous finalToon™ owners the ability to install and use finalToon in 3ds Max 9, both 32 and 64 bit. You must already own and have licensed finalToon™ to purchase this update.
finalToon™ is a full blown True Line Renderer (TLR), with unparalleled line quality and rendering speed. Cartoon or line rendering scenes that take a long time to render within 3ds max, are lightning fast in finalToon™! Suddenly, you can render real fat outlines of an object without the wait and inaccurate dirty look of a shader based solution. finalToon, being a TLR (true line renderer) doesn't mean that finalToon™ has to replace your favorite renderer to do shading or other special effects. finalToon is implemented as a true 3ds max "Render Effect", and so you can enjoy all the great benefits of such an implementation! You may adjust line styles in realtime without the need to re-render the whole scene over and over again. This is what we call "The Choice of Quality". All shading and rendering is done with the production proven 3ds Max scanline renderer. When the scanline pass is done, the finalToon™ line renderer "pops in" and takes over to produce one of the best line renderings available of today. And even better- finalToon supports perfectly finalRender® with all the advanced options, including GI rendering for cartoon style objects!
