ArtVPS has released Shaderlight v0.1, a new physically based raytrace renderer for Max that enables users to change key image attributes at any stage of the rendering process, even on production quality images, without having to restart the render. When objects or camera angles are altered images are rendered with progressive refinement, but the renderer also allows to make interactive changes to materials, environments, lights and textures on full quality 3D images. Shaderlight also includes a new approach to global illumination, which enables light, color and intensity to be updated on screen without the need to re-render. Shaderlight v0.1 is available as a free download for a limited time. More at ArtVPS.com.
