MachStudio Pro v1.2 Features

Real-time workflows and real-time rendering on your desktop

The Ultimate CG Sandbox

Features

  • Robust Shader and Material Pipeline
    Optimizes material creation using industry standard (blinn, phong, lambert, etc.) and specialized shaders (sub-surface scattering, reflection, car paint, etc.).
  • Interactive Ambient Occlusion (AO)
    Streamlining one of the most time consuming processes in the production pipeline, the powerful real-time AO generator reduces days to hours and hours to seconds.
  • Fully configurable constraint systems for lighting and animation
    Provides unprecedented artistic freedom to design, simple and complex lighting rigs with the flexibility to alter them at any point in the production process.
  • Fully animatable properties for all objects, lights, materials and cameras, including auto-keying
    Bring static images to life with a flexible auto-key system. All objects, down to the fragment level and property keys can be animated.
  • Real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR) cameras and lighting
    Provides powerful settings, which allows artists to choose the best exposure for their images.
