indigo 3.4 released

Glare Technologies just announced the release of Indigo Renderer 3.4!

As part of the new update they will be running a 25% to 33% off sale until the 23rd of November.

In the market for a powerful unbiased render engine? Want to render SketchUp Section Planes?

Indigo 3.4 brings several major new features to the visualisation professional's toolkit, including the ability to render with section planes and orthographic cameras. This is achieved in such a way that the scene data isn't actually modified, allowing for quick and painless cut-away imaging with one or more section planes, which can easily be adjusted or disabled. Section planes enjoy broad support in modelling applications, including SketchUp, Blender, Cinema 4D and Revit.

Arch-viz professionals in particular will find tremendous value in the section plane and orthographic camera features, which allow for incisive views into complex scenes without any complex scene changes. Support for accurate IES lighting has been greatly improved, and numerous core optimisations deliver a large boost in rendering efficiency that feels like a free computer upgrade.

Another powerful tool for technical and architectural visualisation is the ability to render without perspective effects, i.e. using an orthographic camera.

Using an orthographic camera for rendering makes it easier to judge proportions, and can give a more technical feel to rendered images; building plans can be brought to life with realistic lighting and handling of glass, while maintaining the isometric viewing style.
