HyperShot upgraded to 1.5
Bunkspeed has released HyperShot 1.5, an upgrade to its 3D-rendering visualization software. The new version provides performance enhancements that allow interaction between HyperShot and all major 3D solid and surface modeling products. It also adds more realistic photographs rendered faster from 3D models. The software requires an Intel Mac and is available now for $200 (web version - 800x450 realtime resolution), $1000 (HD version - 1920x1080 realtime resolution) and $3500 (Pro version - unlimited realtime resolution).
HyperShot is offering faster performance through improved real-time raytracing by providing faster calculation of self-shadows and better real-time handling of materials on objects without texture coordinates. It also adds a cached material library, which will display all materials instantly and improves rendering by utilizing sharper shadows in the final rendering, adding sharper texture maps.
HyperShot's Pro version also adds improved turntable animation and version 1.5 offers support for Rhinoceros and improves its support for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4, SolidWorks files and IGES.
