Maverick Studio – renderer for product visualisation
Random Control – creator of Fryrender and Arion – has released Maverick Studio, a new standalone renderer aimed at product visualisers.
The engine uses an unbiased, physically traced spectral renderer with out-of-core memory management. The engine supports adaptive sampling, subdivision surfaces, displacement, volumnetrics, motion blur, DOF, interactive Tone mapping and more.
A Lightmixer feature allows the user to assign lights to one of up to 8 available layers (in addition to IBL or sunlight) and then adjust their colour and intensity ( similar to the feature available in Maxwell and Corona).
Rendering is interactive by default, effectively providing an always-on viewport. Camera’s are physically based with the usual controls for focal length, f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, etc. There are also controls for barrel and pincushion lens distortion and the ability to render out 360° spherical or cylindrical projections.
Geometry can be imported using the STEP, IGES, OBJ or ALEMBIC formats and a ZBrush link is also available. It comes with a large materials library that can be dragged and dropped onto objects in the viewport. Users can create their own materials using a node-based material editor that includes a long list of shader and texture types.
Prices start at €39.99 per month or €33.99 a month when paid annually. A 30 day trial is available.

key shot??
This could be a viable alternative to vRed or at least vRed Design….Add the ability to tessellate Alias and Catia files and it could be very interesting tool for the Automotive industry.
im giving it a shot. zero tutorials online and its chugs when rotating. KS is a lot smother but this software is GPU faster for sure. also.. noticed DOF is not working.
There are quite a few tutorials now. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZiVGlcUe4iClTih7tbjWfQ
(DOF is working. There is a tutorial about it :-)).
Hi,
Gave it a spin. It’s not bad but and love that KS gets competition.
Though it misses a lot of features to be even comparable to KS, Vred or Deltagen.
I’ll email the developers with my concerns.
Cheers

A hell of a shitty software. Really slow don’t ever compare it to KS
