Chris_Mac Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I'm wondering if any of the FZ users out there know if any third party renderers (V-ray, Brazil, Finalrender) are being developed for use with FZ 4.0? I have asked on the FZ forum and have received no satisfactory reply. :ngeupset: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ramsay Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 What about Electric Image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Mac Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 Electric Image is already very compatible with Form Z, but I feel that I can produce images of a higher standard in Form Z at the moment. I'm thinking more of renderers with GOOD radiosity and features like Global Illumination, HDRI support, photon mapping, etc. I just think I've taken Form Z renderzone as photoreal as it will get, and I get just a little bit jealous when I see some of the beautiful work posted on this and other forums using programs such as V ray.

Craig Ramsay Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Im not really sure what your options are them mate apart from buying Max You could speak to Pete Higgins at CGI Media in Edinburgh... He uses Form-Z for architectural stuff Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Mac Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 It's gonna be quite a while before I can afford a copy of Max. orangecry I know Pete Higgins very well and have worked on a couple of projects for him in the past. He seems to be quite happy using a mixture of Form Z and Electric Image. Auto Des Sys' (Form Z creators) say that they have no say in who develops plug ins for them........ guess I'll just have to harass Cebas, Splutterfish, Chaotic Dimension, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Homeless Guy Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 i remember a thread on formz bb (several months ago) where their web tech said they contacted the major players in the rendering engine market, and exchanged info (whatever that means) about formz supporting plug-ins. they were careful not to elude to whether any of the render engine companies were interested in developing for formz. if memory serves (and it occasionally does), chaod groups' (vray) web site said coming soon for maya, but did not mention any other apps. i know what you are saying about feeling inferior to other renderer's when comparing formz's stripped down lightworks engine to vray.
