Hi people,

I stumbled upon this real time render software, downloaded the demo and was positively surprised.

Check it out, it works natively with SU files.
Here's the link:

I tried importing a 3D horse model from 3D warehouse.
This came out after playing for just 1 minute :

I think Pete meant if I called them to ask for the PRO price, since that price isn't advertised.
Probably expensive.

Some more images, the rendering engine isn't too bad.
The 'noisy' ones are the 'real time' renders, while there is also an option to render one out clean. The engine itself is in a way a bit similar to Podium 1.x imo, but working only with HDRI environment light.
There is no option to make light emitting materials or to set up lights though, which is really a shame.

The price strategy is kind of odd : 195 dollar for a low res version which is acceptable, but 990 dollars just to be able to render (slightly) bigger? (1990X...res).That's strange. And I am not even talking about the 'PRO' version for which you have to call in to get a price.

These were quick tests on different old scenes:
