RenderDigimania 1.0.6 is out

Digimania announced an update to its Unreal-based render engine. New features include:

• Maya equivalent materials
• Maya material export
• Dynamic reflections
• Real-time depth of field and bloom
• Screen-space ambient occlusion
• Render layers and passes
• Realistic contact shadows

Designed for medium-quality animation pipelines, like kids cartoon shows and TV animation, RenderDigimania produces fast renders – according to the company, up to 1,000 times that of traditional ray-tracers. It slots right into an existing Maya workflow, enabling artists to setup and light scenes in realtime, iterate quickly and and produce final output over lunch rather than overnight – all on a single Direct-X 11 compatible PC GPU.

A trial version is available. Find out more on RenderDigimania’s website.
