model+model released a new volume of 3D Books that will make you want to start adding lots of bookshelves within your 3d scenes! And it is super easy using their brand new Bookmanager script. It will allow you to scatter this diverse collection of 670 different books in a snap. This will be volume number 6 from model+model, but you can get single models too on their website.
It is safe to say that no matter what render engine Bertrand Benoit picks up, the outcome will be among the best that was ever made! with that render engine. We’ve seen that all too well a month ago when he posted his “Corners” scene rendered with the real-time GPU engine – Octane, which won 2nd place in their 2012 Apocalypse Competition (I personally think he had a first place grade entry though). I would keep tabs on the advances the Octane people are making… it’s getting very interesting in the real-time zone.
Lumion 2 was officially released today, after being available for current clients starting a few days ago, as the development team made big efforts to deliver the new version before Christmas. Lumion 2 brings new features to the quick & easy real-time 3d visualization package most notably, a new lighting system with an IES preset library, a new sky rendering system supporting night-time and new cloud types, a revamped user interface, better animation control and much more.
Exlevel announced today the creation of a free GrowFX 3D Plants library, as well as 30% special discount on GrowFX purchase for Christmas and New Year holidays. The new library offers pre-made trees and other types of plants in GrowFX 1.8.0 format… so now you can load these trees as presets if you like and keep on designing your own trees based on that, instead of just doing it all from scratch!
model+model released a new volume of Kitchen Accessories 3d models that will make you want to start cooking! This will be volume number 5 from model+model, but you can get single models too on their website.
I’m normally don’t get so worked up about a beta release, but iToo Software has been very busy adding features and fine tuning Forest Pack Pro and it shows in the new 3.7.1b release. The introduction of multiple areas, real-time feedback, painting and better spline & overall control make it even stronger landscaping solution then ever before (and you can do much more than just landscaping with it as you know).
