R&D group has started VRayScatter for Maya beta test. VRayScatter for Maya - is a new product which brings VRayScatter and MultiScatter functionality into Maya environment.
VRayScatter enables V-Ray to generate huge amount of objects in array. With VRayScatter you can create huge forest areas or cities with uncountable amounts of buildings in several clicks. Quick render time, generation of objects with optimized RAM management makes process of scene creation as easy as ABC. Integrated special procedural map VRayScatterTexture allow to define random colour for every objects in the array for pure realistic effect. VRayScatterTexture can be used any object in the scene also.
MultiScatter is based on VRayScatter technology its designed to work not only with V-Ray but with Mental Ray too. MultiScatter has multi-core processing support. It uses all available CPU cores and therefore runs much quicker than VRayScatter which can only use one CPU core. And also allows VRay and Mentalray to generate huge amount of objects in array.
