NX Shading System
Konkeptoine today announced its for Electric Image's Universe Animator, which introduces the concept of working with Slots within a shader in Universe Animator: "By combining up to four different Slots a user can layer from a choice of 31 different noise algorithms to form a surface description of incredible variety and character. This way surfaces can be generated that range in looks from a rusted and corroded metal to highly believable water, tree barks, etc." It includes a library of noises (which can be combined via a several compositing modes) and offers real-time previews. It is compatible with Universe Animator 4/5 and upcoming Version 6. It is now available for Mac OS X for $200 ($50 off) through April 12th.
