      We are pleased to announce the release of a new version of FluidRay RT real-time global illumination renderer. This is a huge update. New features:

      • Spectral Rendering. The rendering is done now on a per wavelength basis, producing much more realistic results.
      • Node library and Drag&Drop: assigning materials to objects, changing environment lighting, etc. is now done thru a super simple drag&drop interface, all in real-time. Nodes can be added to the library using Drag&Drop as well.
      • IES lights, Spot lights
      • Blackbody and arbitrary spectrum illumination
      • Realistic Metals
      • Participating media
      • Video Tutorials to get started
      • Speed Improvements & Bug Fixes

      You can try FluidRay RT now by downloading at http://www.fluidray.com/downloads.

      You can find a series of FluidRay RT introductory videos at http://www.fluidray.com/help.

          Yes, it is standalone and it will be a commercial product. We are in the beta phase, so only the demo is available for non-beta testers. You can import meshes and materials using the .obj file format.

          You can find a tutorial on how to import .obj files in FluidRay RT at http://www.fluidray.com/help

            Hello Nicola
            Why do you still support only Intel CPU?
            I have amd and can't start your app at it.
