Cebas plugins: finalFlares 1.5 / finalDOF 1.5 / pyrocluster 3.5 / ThinkingParticles 3.0

finalFlares 1.5, the successor of RealLensFlare II, is available now as a stand alone option for 3ds max versions 6 through 2008 and Autodesk VIZ 2005-2007

finalDOF 1.5 is cebas' next generation effects tool for 3ds max. finalDOF is an all purpose Depth Of Field (DOF) & Motion Blur render effect for 3ds max.

pyrocluster 3.5 closes the gap between soft hazy 3D environment effects and puffy dense pyroclastic volcano clouds! A long awaited 3D artist's dream comes true! 3D smoke and cloud effects in all variations just right under your finger tips.

finalDOF is the first plug-in ever to break the borders of the newly introduced layered G-Buffer channels of 3ds max versions 6 through 2008! With its full support of unlimited G-Buffer channels, finalDOF outperforms any standard 3ds max Render Effect. High quality Anti Aliasing Reconstruction after applying a render effect is only possible with the use of all sub pixel information available from the renderer.
Every 3ds max conform renderer with full support of layered G-Buffer channels can benefit of the immense render power of finalDOF. Until now, a true Depth of Field rendering took several minutes to render with a raytracer like finalRender or mental ray and maybe it took days to render such effects with other renderers. finalDOF on the other hand renders in near REALTIME and allows interactive rendering of DOF and motion blur effects right from within 3ds max.

pyrocluster effects can be rendered in many different ways to represent all kinds of natural phenomena, including realistic dense clouds with super crisp self-shadowing.
But there is more! pyrocluster can not only be used to create smoke or haze it is also perfect for fiery or solid liquid effects. Turbulent water falls or snow avalanches are all possible with one single product.
pyrocluster features an all new Volume Tracer engine that fully supports all standard 3ds max lighting effects. Advanced optimization features of the pyrocluster VolumeTracer engine offer many ways to improve render speed and quality. For example, pyrocluster is yet the only plug-in that offers two shadow map creation methods for one single light source! One light source may affect self shadows in the volume differently than the shadow that is thrown onto other objects by the cloud or volume effect! Flexibility and power of control is the new credo of pyrocluster.

ThinkingParticles 3.0 is the ultimate rule based particle system for 3ds max, offering unparalleled power to the user. ThinkingParticles 3.0 is a completely new class of rule-based particle systems for 3ds Max. When this type of particle system is compared to an event-based particle system, (which works on triggers and time dependent events) you'll find many unique advantages within TP3's rule-based logic, which is free from normal time-based constraints and instead applies simple behaviors. These behaviors govern all aspects of a particle’s motion, life, death, and collisions in a true non-linear fashion. We hope you find that by using ThinkingParticles 3, you can create all the incredible effects you were hoping for, but have been limited previously by existing technologies.
