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.
