Video Copilot has released a preview video of the new and upcoming Element 3D V2. Scheduled to release in November, Element 3D V2 features a host of upgrades including faster rendering, real-time physical based shaders, UI refinements, and much more. To watch the full preview video, you can head over to the Video Copilot website.
If Quicksilver for 3dsmax had the half of the features presented here (SSS, physical materials, reflections, Raytrace and bitmap shadows,…) It will accelerate so much my workflow.
Yeah, the element render engine is very useful for simple stuff.
You hit a brick wall though with certain aspects (rigging, deforming meshes)
I’d love to see a decent game engine inside of Max – along the lines of Unreal/Cryengine etc.
VRay etc are great, but there are times when you just need ‘good enough’, and game engines have been at that point for a while.
