Just what I have been waiting for , and also looking to deeing what "the
host of major innovations" are! :-))))))))))
Thanks Roman!
All the best

Subject: [TSML] TS7 Renderers
Today Caligari Corporation announced three new photorealistic rendering
options for its next generation modeling, rendering and animation
product, trueSpace7. Users will have a choice between three available
photorealistic renderers: In addition to the standard Lightworks 7.5
renderer, Caligari will also ship VirtualLight 1.4 with trueSpace7. The
latest version of the V-Ray renderer will be available as a separate
option for trueSpace7. All three renderers will be seamlessly integrated
into the trueSpace7 user interface and users will be able to switch
between them with a single mouse click.
Lightworks 7.5
Lightworks has been the basic workhorse for photorealistic output in
trueSpace for many years. The Lightworks 7.5 release includes support
for HDRI rendering and trueSpace7 users will have a new range of
materials available, including fully editable shader trees. Shader trees
provide a much more powerful approach to creating rich materials than
the simple layered process provided in earlier versions of trueSpace.
VirtuaLight 1.4
New in trueSpace7 will be the integration of the VirtuaLight 1.4
renderer created by Stephane Marty's, providing global illumination with
irradiance, photon mapping, and caustics. VirtualLight will also be
fully integrated into trueSpace7 and the user will be able to select the
render with a single mouse click. This also means that standard
trueSpace tools such as Area Render will work seamlessly with the
VirtualLight engine, material previews in the Material Editor will
render with VirtualLight, and so forth.
V-Ray
Caligari is pleased to announce an agreement with Chaos group to license
V-Ray renderer for integration with trueSpace7. V-Ray is one of the
fastest high-quality global illumination renderers available today. This
optional renderer, once installed, will simply appear as a third
rendering option in the preferences menu, with the same workflow as the
standard renderers. The V-Ray renderer is a popular choice for many
demanding professional users due to its robustness, speed, and an array
of powerful features including:
* Global illumination with support for image-based lighting; includes
photon, irradiance, and illumination mapping.
* Raytracing through a highly optimized, unified, quasi-Monte Carlo
sampling framework for fast rendering of multiple combined blurry
effects (glossy reflections/refractions, depth-of-field, motion blur,
area shadows, etc.)
* Sub-surface scattering and support for displacement mapping.
* Controllable full-scene antialiasing including antialiasing of texture
maps and raytraced effects (shadows, reflections, etc.)
* Saving of direct illumination into the global lighting solutions
provided by the photon and irradiance maps.
* Distributed rendering allowing single frame rendering on multiple
machines.
* Reliable handling of extremely large datasets .
Caligari believes that these three powerful rendering solutions will be
worthy counterparts to the host of major innovations that will be
featured in trueSpace7 and a welcome addition to any trueSpace7 artist's
toolbox.
