Hi chippwalters and good morning.

I see that you are particularly focused on the production of "concept 3d design".

So...why don't you move yourself to the world of the new and extremely powerful "realtime PBR rendering" ??

This kind of product is getting better and better and in most cases they surpass even the quality of standard renderer but at a fraction of time.

I have used for some time Marmorset Toolbag 2, an excellent and very robust PBR render engine, and now they announced their ToolBag 3!

But now I decided to give a serious chance to the all brand new InstantLight, the newest PBR render engine on the market,
that leverages on latest and extremely powerful DirectX/CUDA GPU.
I'm a beta tester of this product and I can say that is very promising and above all its developing team is giving to it a very good
workflow when coupled with 3D-Coat!

And they announced that in the next betas we will have for the first time "VERTEX SHADER FOR VOXELS!!!!"

The developing team is working extremely hard on it and also it's UI is in a beta stage.

And, last but not least, InstantLight it's half the price of ToolBag 3...
