Plugin News – Lume Tools for Max enter beta testing

Yes, you’ve read right: as reported by Max3D, “Lume Tools Collection 1” has been added to the list of plugins at Digimation’s Beta Site. The original Lume Tools set of plugins was a collection of surface/volumetric shaders, tools, and post effects developed by Lume, Inc. in conjunction with the artists and animators of Cyan (now Cyan Worlds) for use in the game “Riven”. No details are available yet on which parts of the original Lume Tools will be made available in this release, but if you’d like to see what may be in store for us Max users check out the Lightwave implementation of the Lume Tools suite by Dynamic Realities. Also of note: Lume Tools Collection was purchased by Mental Images from Lume, Inc. in 1998.
