Shade imports many popular CAD formats to create sophisticated high-end renderings. The software has been a long-time market leader in Japan for over 20 years with over 200,000 users and over 70% market share in the character modeling, product design and architectural design markets.
Market Focus
Shade 8 is designed for the following three markets:
1. Architectural and Interior Design
Architects and Interior Designers will appreciate the lighting, shading and easy accurate dimensions that can be used for quick prototype architectural designs and renderings. Using the huge library of architectural objects or imported files from popular CAD programs, architects and interior designers can build projects and render them with speed and realism.
2. Product Design and Visualization
Development of product designs are easily created. Shade uses Boolean or Bezier modeling and mesh editing to create the exact shapes needed for projects and visualizations. The animation features help to preview functioning products "in motion" for high-impact presentations.
3. Character Modeling and Rendering
Shade is an excellent tool for creating character models. It also works with Poser. Shade links directly to Poser for importing and exporting figures and poses. Poser users can use Shade to modify models, create props or render images with unlimited size (professional version).
Shade 8 Feature Highlights Include:
· Boolean and Bezier modeling, Polygon mesh modeling and auto-smoothing of curves to detail projects.
· Global Illumination Renderer includes Photon Mapping, Path Tracing, Raytracing and "Radiosity with physics" for photo realistic imagery. Callisto, the rendering plug-in with global illumination and detailed settings, has been upgraded. A translucent shader and metallic shader have been added, and aberration is now supported.
· Introducing ShadeGrid, for improved network rendering. Network rendering and render queue with support for unlimited number of computers (professional version) or one additional computer (standard version). Shade is able to automatically search all available ShadeGrid servers that are running on the same local area network, display the IP addresses in the preference dialog, and put them to work rendering your file.
· Supports pixel depth in 32-bits, 64-bits and 128-bits for all rendering image output.
· PoserFusion 2TM, enables, hosts and playbacks Poser scenes within Shade.
· OBJ, IGES5.3, DXF format support for integration into a CAD-based environment.
· 100 levels of Undo and Redo. ShadeExplorer U.I. improved with instant file preview and added keyboard control.
· Shade integrates with Poser, ArchiCAD, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, as well as other 2D, 3D and CAD applications.
· Over 5000 3D objects available via download! Free limited figures Fei-Fei and Terai Yuki * are included with more than 300 3D objects in the standard version, and 1700 + objects available in the professional version. More content is available via ContentParadise.com.
