FluidRay RT

Image rendering is a highly complex process, usually involving sophisticated algorithms from similarly comprehensive programs. FluidRay RT is one such detailed rendering suite that provides users with a powerful environment in which to process their images.

As with similar applications, users are free to adjust most of the picture's parameters, including material ones (e.g. the environment, objects, liquids and solids), but also lights, shadows, emissions and other intangible effects (including diffraction and dispersion). What's more, users are free to customize their libraries, to include original textures.

The program comes with a multi-frame based interface that allows users to manage multiple tasks at the same time. The interface features an ample central render viewer and includes other frames for graphs views, libraries and an attribute editor.

Color adjustments can be performed and one of the great features is the ability to process changes in real-time. If the built-in library of materials is insufficient, one is free to import items from 3D modeling programs (DAEs, ASEs, STLs, and 3DMs are among the supported formats).

The application supports volumetric rendering, which allows accurately simulating diffuse effects such as fog, smoke, halos or sun rays. Once satisfied with their work, users can export projects to several formats, including EXR, HDR, JPEG, PNG, BMP and TIFF documents, with resolution values ranging from as low as 256x256 to as much as 32K x 32K.

To sum up, FluidRay RT is a powerful tool for anyone who regularly processes images with the purpose of enhancing visual elements.
