LightWorks enhancements in latest TurboCAD release

 

SHEFFIELD, UK - LightWork Design, the world's leading supplier of rendering solutions for developers of advanced 3D computer graphics software, is pleased to announce that the latest release of TurboCAD^® Pro v16, from IMSI/Design, incorporates new updated LightWorks functionality.

The new product release was announced earlier this week and rendering enhancements within the release include LightWorks global illumination, final gather and ambient occlusion - which facilitates a simpler and faster creation of more accurate and realistic renderings - as well as the addition of numerous new material shaders. David Forrester, Managing Director at LightWork Design commented, “We are pleased to see the addition of the latest LightWorks technology within TurboCAD Pro and to see the real advances that this makes to the product. We look forward to seeing more TurboCAD entries within our LightWorks image competition in the months to come as users take advantage of these improvements.”

Bob Mayer, Chief Operating Officer at IMSI/Design added, “LightWork Design’s development and support staff were instrumental in providing advice and assistance throughout this release. It was easy to update our software libraries to the latest LightWorks v7.9 version. This allowed us to focus more time and effort on improving our user interface, adding a style manager with preset lighting conditions, incorporating context sensitive help, and more. Customers love the new depth of field, lens flare, and other post-processing capabilities; the advanced shaders such as Glossy, Blurred Mirror, and Blurred Glass: they dramatically reduce the time and difficulty in setting up a quality render."

LightWorks is now in its 20th year and has been integrated within TurboCAD since rendering was first implemented a number of years ago. Over this time, the product has developed to provide users with greater photorealistic capabilities and users have produced some outstanding work.
