Announces Immediate Availability of the Brazil Rendering System for
Discreet’s 3ds max 6 Professional 3D
Animation Software
VENICE, CA (December 10, 2003) — SplutterFish LLC, a high-end 3D
rendering software solutions provider, today announced that the Brazil
Rendering System v. 1.2, an advanced, fully-integrated rendering suite
for Discreet’s 3ds max® software, is now available for 3ds max 6,
the latest version of Discreet’s top-selling 3D animation software.
As a strategic partner with Discreet, SplutterFish is committed to
ensuring that Brazil r/s meets the demanding
standards of quality and compatibility for this latest version of 3ds
max that the renderer is already known
for, said Scott Kirvan, CEO of SplutterFish.
For those 3ds max professionals who
require the highest quality imagery, Brazil r/s’
rendering solution is unbeatable in terms of workflow, speed, seamless
integration in 3ds max, and affordability. It offers unparalled
control over image output while still being fast and easy-to-use.
Additionally, with its bundle pricing, Brazil r/s is a fraction
of the cost of comparable rendering solutions when outfitting small,
medium or large
studios, resulting in an exceptional return-on-investment.”*

Artist Bundle and one Renderfarm Bundle which outfits 7 machines for
$1950.
