30th January 2008

The company LightWork Design has released another version of the engine for 3D rendering - LightWorks 7.8.
This decision is not a separate part of some program and is designed for use with other applications for 3D modeling.
In the new version was added with several improvements. The component if light calculating now has a simplified interface for setting parameters of visualizing global light and easier integration into third-party software.
In the Final Gather algorithms the balance between speed and quality is improved, as well as mirror shaders and internal vagueness are incorporated.
The mechanism of imposing shadows textures was finalized for increasing performance and reducing the consumption of system resources.
The technology Real-time Plus now has changes of improved control and performance as well. Some of them relates to gamma correction. In addition, the new Version introduces reading and recording images in the PNG format, as well as new shaders, including spotting, horizon background, etc…
