Next Limit Technologies has released Maxwell Render -- its light simulator software -- and RealFlow4 -- its fluid and dynamics simulator -- for Mac. Maxwell Render is designed as an unbiased rendering engine based on the physics of real light, and runs natively on both PowerPC systems as well as Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary. RealFlow4 also runs natively on both of Apple's platforms as a Universal Binary. The company also announced that Apple is promoting its products on the company's website. Maxwell Render is priced at $1,000 for a downloadable version, while RealFlow4 is available for $2,700. Both applications are available as a bundle for $3,300 (system requirements were unavailable).
