Shade 8 Standard by Smith Micro: 900+ included 3D models speed up the design and modeling process

Shade's intuitive, easy-to-use interface and 900+ included 3D models such as furniture, building and transportation items speed up the design and modeling process to improve workflow. Modeling is aided by comprehensive mesh editing tools. Shade 8 Standard imports and exports popular CAD formats, and incorporates raytracing and radiosity to produce superior renderings of imported projects. Rendering times can be dramatically reduced via distributed rendering over two machines at once. Product Design and Visualization. Development of award-wining product design is made easy using Shade. Boolean or Bezier modeling and mesh editing creates the exact shapes, with animation to preview functioning products "in motion"! Character Modeling and Rendering With Poser. Link directly to Poser to easily import/export figures and poses. Poser 7 or earlier users can use Shade to modify models, create props or render images up to 4000x4000 pixels in size. Architectural and Interior Design. Architects and interior designers can build and render projects with stunning speed and realism. Additional content is also available from the huge library of architectural objects online and from popular CAD programs. * New version 8.5 includes additional bonus content!
