ART VPS Ltd. has released a major update of its RenderPipe software that supports its PURE and RenderDrive ray-tracing hardware systems.

The upgrade significantly decreases transfer times for large meshes and adds support for the latest version of 3ds max The RenderPipe plug-in interfaces popular 3D applications such as Maya, 3ds max, CATIA and VIZ with ART VPS's PURE and RenderDrive systems

Updates to the plug-in include:.

* Faster transfer times for meshes as large as 30 million polygons.

Export time for a scene containing 3.5 million polygons was reduced from 11 minutes to 50 seconds.

* Support for bitmap files up to 200 MB or larger.

The previous threshold for bitmap files was 120 MB.

* A new light-sampling engine that adjusts lighting effects as needed to sharpen the final rendering without increasing the size of the image or over-sampling the lighting in areas where it is not needed.
