Rendering Solutions Increases Quality to 3D Setups

By DE Editors

ARTVPS’ (Cambridge, UK) RenderServer and RayBox simplify the production of high-quality 3D images. Fully compatible with Autodesk’s AutoCAD, ARTVPS products are said to offer ease of use, simple workflow, and reliability — capable of delivering large and complex jobs.

RenderServer is a dedicated mental ray-rendering platform that allows companies to increase the productivity of their existing 3D resources. Slotting into the production workflow with minimum set-up time, RenderServer delivers fast mental ray (San Francisco, CA) rendering speeds.

Featuring quad-core processing functionality through two dual-core AMD Opteron 280 processors in a 1U rack mount chassis, RenderServer comes with 64-bit mental ray licenses pre-installed and additional custom material libraries to download. A simple pushbutton display on the front panel sets up the IP address and a web-based user interface enables fast application configuration. ARTVPS’  file management tool provides a simple drag and drop workflow that enables users to view and manage multiple rendering jobs from any workstation on their network.

RenderServer and its desktop equivalent, RenderServer DT, are designed specifically for mental ray users looking for a network renderer that is easy to set up and use either as a standalone unit or as part of a dedicated render farm.

For those looking for a high-end rendering solution that delivers photorealistic 3D imagery direct to the desktop, RayBox offers professional quality 3D rendering to product designers.

A compact desk-side system, RayBox powers the ART renderer. With a fully integrated plug in to Autodesk’s 3dsmax, Maya and VIZ, this powerful solution allows designers to work with real-world lighting and accurate camera effects as well as accessing ART’s own photorealistic material library.
