 engine. The central feature of finalRender is a global illumination system in the form of a standard 3ds max material type that shortens rendering preparation time.

Stage-1

Stage-1 is a standalone version of finalRender that works as a separate plug-in to 3D Studio Max. It exists as a pure raytracing system that replaces the graphics software's core renderer completely. By virtue of its independence and later release, Stage-1 boasts more features than its predecessor. These include:

  • support for g-buffer channels and render elements
  • 64-bit ready code
  • Intel Pentium 4

Stage-2

Stage-2 is an independent rendering system designed to integrate into Alias's Maya (software) and Maxon's Cinema 4D. Much like Stage-1, Stage-2 replaces its host software's core renderer. This version was released in late 2005 for Cinema 4D and is, as of August 22, 2006 available for Maya as well. A version for 3ds Max is actually scheduled for 2006.
