FurryBall GPU realtime renderer for Maya in production quality – News.

Graphics furryball, software

FurryBall, a GPU accelerated renderengine for Autodesk Maya boasts real-time simulation of lighting effects and physics inside the native Maya Environment.  From their website:

Have you ever dreamed of a 3D renderer implemented directly into Maya 3D that has the capacity to light, rotate, or change parameters  in real-time in scenes that contain textures, bump maps, soft shadows, reflections, refractions, and dynamic hair? Your dreams have come true – introducing FurryBall!

Demonstration videos on their website do a good job showing the capabilities, and a 30-day trial (registration required) is available on their website.  The full version sells for $490 – $2200, depending on the feature set.
