Carbon Scatter can be used to create complex and detail-rich landscapes and biotopes digitally. Billions of polygons can be rendered through fast instancing, and any renderer can be integrated, including GPU path tracers such as Octane or V-RayRT. E-on Software has now released the new version.
These are the new features in Carbon Scatter 2015.5:
- Realistic animation models for wind
- Edit and animate new plant species in PlantFactory (only from Version 2015.2)
- Create new species and save them in the Carbon Scatter Library
- A large amount of data can now be handled much more easily
- Large preview function for items as well as immediate resizing options
- Fast processing of large amounts of data
- Intuitive search function
- Collections divided into tabs or hierarchical folders
- Create and mark favourites including a Favourites tab
Anyone already using Carbon Scatter 2015 can download the new version free of charge from their E-on account. The tool is compatible with 3ds Max, Cinema 4D and Maya/V-Ray and is supported by Windows and Mac OS X. The Pro version costs 295 US dollars; other licence forms are available.
Incidentally, in the upcoming DP 06 : 2015, which will be published on August 28, we will also present the best plug-ins.
