Latest Release

Lightwork Design is committed to providing customers with maximum performance, quality and cost-efficiency.

The main focus of the release of Lightworks 7.9 is the improvement of support for real-world materials in both hardware and software rendering, plus intelligent ambient light and control over colour balance.

The new key developments in this latest release are outlined below but for more detailed information, please contact us.

• HDR Images - the release of a number of new Lightworks HDR images, to enable more realistic lighting within scenes.
• Ambient Occlusion - this adds intelligent and predictable Ambient light to your models for greater depth, performance and realism, and is particularly suitable for Interior scenes.
• Complex Reflectance Shaders - these new shaders are targeted at the generation of a wider range of realistic effects. The new colour and reflectance shaders include Glossy and Blurred Reflections, Frosted Glass, Enhanced car paint, plastics and metallic effects.
• CgFX - the number of effects in your Real-time rendering can be extended by using external CgFX materials.
• Specular Final Gather - this feature has been refined in Lightworks 7.9 to optimise work dependent on the properties of a material. So, the smoother the surface, the less work will be spent calculating the Specular Final Gather results. This in turn leads to a faster rendering of images when using this effect.

In addition to these features, there are also a range of other enhancements which have been made in Lightworks 7.9 to ensure that customers have the most cost-effective route to creating advanced rendering applications for their users.
