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

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

Hi Everybody,

We just released a new beta of FluidRay RT real-time global illumination renderer.
This version comes with a bunch of new features. First off, we included a getting started guide to help people get used to FluidRay RT. Besides that, we added the undo/redo functionality, the support for container nodes, and a bunch of bug fixes and speed improvements. As usual, you'll find the demo at http://www.fluidray.com/downloads

Hi,
FluidRay RT is a totally new product with respect to the old FluidRay. It is an external rendering application, and you can use it with any 3d modeling software. It imports scenes, objects and materials using the .obj format.
The resolution is limited in the demo to 512x512, but the full version will have unlimited resolution.
FluidRay RT is developed by FluidInteractive (http://www.fluidinteractive.com), an Italian software house.

Nicola

Hi All,
We are pleased to announce the release of the first beta of FluidRay RT, our new real-time global illumination renderer.
You can check it out at http://www.fluidray.com
It's real-time, but you don't need a fancy GPU with tons of video RAM. It mostly uses the CPU and the system's main RAM.
All comments are welcome!

Nicola

Hi,

It should be fixed now.

Nicola

Yep, if you post the file that is causing the crash, I'll be happy to test it on FluidImporter as well.
