Advanced Rendering Technology

Last updated: 29th August 2003 - page created

RenderStudio is a collection of scene libraries, designed to be used with RenderDrive and PURE. They provide ready built environments in which you can place your own objects, saving you modelling time.

To get the most realistic results from RenderDrive and PURE, it is worth modelling an environment for your scene. This is especially true if you are using RenderPipe materials because they do not use fake specular highlights, instead reflecting their surroundings thus giving physically correct highlights.

The files on this page are available to RenderDrive and PURE users who have a current ART VPS subscription. The zip files are password protected. To get the passwords, please contact ART VPS customer support.

 

RenderStudio for Maya

These files can be opened in Maya 4.5 and 5.

Each library consists of an Adobe Acrobat PDF file describing the library and containing sample pictures, and a zip file containing a project which in turn contains the Maya scene files and any bitmaps used. When you unzip, choose the option to recreate folders. In Maya set the current project to be the newly unzipped folder, then the scenes and bitmaps will be in the right place to be opened.

There are three libraries for Maya: Generic Studios, Still Life Studios and Kitchens.

 

Generic Studios

This library contains relatively simple studios, for example a blue studio.

Download the PDF file describing the library (53Kb) and the ZIP file containing the Maya files and bitmaps (0.6Mb).

 

Still Life Studios

This library contains more complex studios, designed to be used for producing still life pictures, though some animation is also possible. The scenes include a walnut table and an oak floor.

Download the PDF file describing the library (430Kb) and the ZIP file containing the Maya files and bitmaps (5.0Mb).
