A nice win for Lightworks today comes from the announcement that new versions of Graebert’s ARES CAD software will be integrated with the Lightworks Artisan SnapShot Studio, a product similar to Keyshot in that is allows quick and easy generation of photorealistic images from models, 3D CAD data in this case. The integration works throughout the entire design process, enabling rapid generation of photorealistic images to test materials and design quickly.
Commenting on the partnership, Wilfied Graebert, CEO and founder of Graebert GmbH said, “Integrating the photorealistic technology offered by Lightworks brings a whole new level of 3D excellence to ARES and we are particularly excited to be amongst the first to integrate with Artisan software.”
ARES supports DWG2010 and DXF support already, making it a nice “polish” tool if you use AutoCAD or Solidworks instead, but is a completely standalong CAD package as well.
Full announcement after the break.
Graebert integrates Lightworks Artisan within ARES CAD Software
Lightworks, the world’s leading supplier of rendering solutions for developers of advanced 3D computer graphics software, is pleased to announce that Graebert GmbH – one of the pioneering companies in high-performance CAD solutions – has become a Lightworks customer and has integrated rendering technology from Lightworks.
Graebert’s ARES software is one of the first CAD products to be integrated with Lightworks Artisan SnapShot Studio, a new application which facilitates the quick and easy generation of photorealistic images from 3D CAD data. Artisan SnapShot Studio can be used throughout the entire design process, allowing users to quickly try out various material and lighting combinations before moving on to final design decisions and final quality imagery. ARES offers all the productive tools and smart features for drafting and design that you expect from a CAD application and with DWG 2010 as its primary drawing file format and DXF support, ARES provides compatibility and exchange capabilities with a wide range of graphics and construction software all over the world. With the introduction of Lightworks rendering, the ARES product now enhances its capabilities even further.
Commenting on the partnership, Wilfied Graebert, CEO and founder of Graebert GmbH said, “Integrating the photorealistic technology offered by Lightworks brings a whole new level of 3D excellence to ARES and we are particularly excited to be amongst the first to integrate with Artisan software.”
Dave Forrester, CEO at Lightworks added, “We’re delighted to be working with Graebert, one of the most respected and innovative names in the CAD industry. ARES has achieved tremendous mindshare within a very short time and we are proud to have Graebert as a customer of our acclaimed rendering technology.”
