cebas Visual Technology, creators of finalRender, has just announced a new partnership with Cyber Radiance to integrate their ‘Hair Farm’ product more closely.

“finalRender is an extremely powerful rendering system for using Hair Farm and I’m excited to integrate our products more closely,” said Dr. Cem Yuksel, creator of Hair Farm. “It will yield optimal performance and enhanced workflow for all 3ds Max users. Most importantly, it will help us extend the capabilities of our solutions and go beyond the limitations of today’s technology.”

This follows up with last year’s announcement to better integrate FumeFX from Sitni Sati.  Looks like cebas may be a company to keep a close eye on.

If you’re unhappy with the built-in hair capabilities of Autodesk’s 3ds Max, then you might want to check out “Hair Farm” from CyberRadiance.

Hair Farm is not just another tool for producing hair on virtual characters. It is a completely new design that combines state-of-the-art technologies with an artist-friendly user interface and a flexible workflow.

Some of the novel technologies in Hair Farm are the following:

• A whole new hair modeling pipeline combining the best ideas both the industry and the academia, including hair mesh modeling,
• An artist-friendly realistic hair material that can efficiently handle complicated light behavior like multiple scattering in hair volume to produce physically-based realism,
• A highly optimized high-quality ray tracer for hair that automatically handles anti-aliasing without the need to specify the number of samples,
• A whole new hair simulation technique that can robustly handle complicated models and advanced physical behavior like hair-hair interaction,
• Technologies in curve representations for modeling and rendering.

The results are impressive, as evidenced by their gallery. Available now for prices ranging from $70 (rendernode) to $1000 (professional).
