3. “ I use many different software packages, and so my opinion isn’t biased but I will say Thinking Particles
is one of the most powerful and flexible pieces of software I have come across, for me – especially for
destruction – it’s the foundation of most visual effects pipelines I see.”
“ I use Moskito Render. I was curious to find out how complex scenes of my 3d model could be
managed by this GPU render (and by my old video card, a Nvidia GTX 460 with 2GB of RAM), and I
had created a very detailed geometry, using a variety of complex shaders with numerous
textures. I have to say I didn’t encounter any problems during the work and I am totally satisfied
with Moskito. Apart from MoskitoRender, I also used finalRender and finalToon, which I love.”

6. finalRender 3.5: Architectural Visualizing / Rendering
The new finalRender SE Stereo Camera offers the 3ds
Max user a sophisticated way to reproduce true 3D stereo
camera effects from within 3ds Max. cebas was able to
develop this 3ds Max rendering solution that has no issues
with live action footage, allows proper compositing of
existing footage (created with thinkingParticles R4), and
matches all rendering setups created in Maya as well, that
can be easily imported. . A true 3D stereo camera model
into finalRender, it proved to be an ideal rendering
solution for major movie productions.

8. GPU moskitoRender 3.5: Architectural Visualizing / Rendering
moskitoRender™ is the first full-featured GPU renderer for 3ds Max with the
least amount of software and creative restrictions of all GPU-only renderers on
the market! Its nonrestrictive, highly optimized approach allows artists to unleash
their imagination and freedom needed to feed their artistic appetite.
moskitoRender™ has NO materials of its own, yet supports ALL of the 1,300
materials from the Autodesk Material Library as well as the standard 3ds Max
materials.
It is a true Physically Based Spectral Rendering solution meant to replace any
one of the standard 3ds Max rendering options, creating images based on strict
unbiased path-tracing methods.
moskitoRender™offers a true continuous workflow with easy setup, less
parameters and lightning fast results.

10. finalToon: enhanced line styles and line effects
All finalToon shading and rendering can be done with the production
proven 3ds Max scanline renderer. When the scanline pass is done, the
finalToon line renderer pops in and takes over to produce the NPR line
rendering part. As mentioned before, any fully integrated 3ds Max
compatible renderer can be used for the rendering and shading pass.
- Canvas Effect simulate structured background material(Paper, Linen . .
.)
- Edge Map to control the bump, color, thickness etc. of the lines.
- Flash (swf) and Adobe Illustrator (ai) output.
- Cartoon Shader to get the typical cartoon look
- Global/local line style settings
- Material converter
-Render Elements support for different line types like hidden lines, visible
lines, etc.

thinkingParticles 6.1: rule-based, procedural VFX software
thinkingParticles Release 6.0 is a breakthrough on
computational procedural physics and particles in
motion, one of many thinkingParticles’ latest and biggest
release yet - redefining special effects - cebas Visual
Technology Release 6.0 has come up with simple,
powerful tools to mesh (inter-changeably) complex Soft-
body dynamics, Rigid-body dynamics and Fluid Simulation
in procedural formations. You now can animate objects in
a way that was never possible before, hassle-free.

14. http://www.cebas.com > product > psd-manager
Gives you the combined power of render elements, anti-aliased object and material selections
in every .psd - supported application
Designed to help save you time: psd-manager 3
psd-manager™ 3 is the most advanced PSD file exporter for 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design available on the
market. Now you can readjust nearly everything in a rendering with Adobe® Photoshop® or any another
application that supports PSD files. psd-manager is the tool to help you save time and money by integrating
the tools you best know and like.
- Supports Autodesk 3ds Max 9-2016, 3ds Max Design and VIZ
-For all Renderers - Renderers with G-Buffer and Render Elements recommended (e.g. V-Ray,
finalRender, mental ray, Scanline).
15. http://www.cebas.com
psd-manager allows you to output each render element in your scene as a single PSD layer (or channel). For each render element
you can decide if it will be exported and how.
HDR with ease. Why start with another floating file format if you will create a Photoshop document anyway?

18. http://www.cebas.com > products > more… > scalpelMax
scalpelMax: Advanced slicing for complex CAD visualizations with polygon counts above
100.000.
ScalpelMAX can handle much higher polygon counts in realtime than the standard slice feature. ScalpelMAX also
uses less memory to process the slice operation and this makes it also much faster than the built in feature.
Another feature is it's very high accuracy! ScalpelMAX won't fail doing the cut operation while the standard
feature gives up and creates unusable "data rubbish". Everybody who has ever used the standard Slice function
for complex tasks, knows what that means.
The standard Slice often is not able to do the job accordingly, Scalpel is able to do it because it simply calculates
more accurately and efficiently.
ScalpelMAX lets you open up your constructions and show it to your customers. Even animated sequences with
multiple layered cuts through any number of objects is easily possible.
