ArtVPS to Reward Early Adopters of Shaderlight

By DE Editors

ArtVPS has announced a discount program designed to reward early adopters of Shaderlight, its physically based raytrace renderer plug-in for 3ds Max. Anyone who downloads the free pre-release version, Shaderlight 0.1, will be entitled to free upgrades to interim versions, and will qualify for 50 percent off the cost of Shaderlight 1.0. Shaderlight 1.0 will cost $895,  but those who download version 0.1 (available for free until Aug. 3, 2009) will only pay $445 for the first full release.

Shaderlight enables CG professionals and visualization specialists to make interactive changes to materials, environments, lights and textures on full-quality 3D images, without having to re-render.
