Discover the innovative NewTek 3D 2018 Animation Software (Academic), a comprehensive and advanced tool designed for professionals in the film, television, and gaming industries. This powerful software is equipped with a completely rewritten rendering, shading, and lighting architecture, offering enhanced realism, accuracy, and ease-of-use.
Experience the expanded workflow for render and light buffers, simplifying compositing and offering unparalleled flexibility. This includes real-time previews of new buffers in any viewport using VPR, as well as custom buffers using the node editor. The software also supports Open VDB, allowing artists to specify physically based properties like Scattering, Absorption, and Emission parameters, along with robust node networks.
The NewTek 3D 2018 Animation Software introduces a new lighting architecture that includes physical lights, which can be optionally visible to the camera. It also improves the loading of IES web files to better match the intensity of real manufactured lights.
The Surface Editor has been revamped for the new shading system, offering powerful node-based materials presented with a user-friendly interface. The software also includes a Virtual Reality Camera with both cylindrical and spherical modes for creating immersive 360-degree renders and animations for VR applications.
The software's Modifier Stack comes with new Deformation Nodes, unlocking and simplifying the previously fixed order of operations for Bones, Morphs, Subdivision, and Displacements. The Cel Shader and Enhanced Edge Rendering provide flexible non-photoreal render control over material shading and allow gradient-based cel shading.
The NewTek 3D 2018 Animation Software also features an integrated FiberFX system, expanded to work closely with the new lighting and shading system. It allows the use of any material on the fibers, which are now generated using the new primitive object architecture.
The software also includes layout-based Parametric Shapes for the creation of virtual primitive shapes that can be displaced, surfaced, and rendered without needing any geometry. The Noise Reduction Filter speeds up render times by using fewer Global Illumination rays and samples, while allowing for clean up of the resulting noise using filters instead of increased render settings.
Finally, the NewTek 3D 2018 Animation Software introduces new modeler features, including fully interactive tools like Lattice, Smoothing, Array, and Spline Bridge. It also includes new enhancements to the Viewport Preview Renderer (VPR), UDIM texture support, more supported presets, FiberFX, Unity 5 support, and more. This versatile and comprehensive software is your ultimate tool for creating stunning 3D models and animations.
