finalRender Stage-2 is the latest cebas product to offer all the features and benefits of a full blown standalone rendering system. Based on industry standards, finalRender Stage-2 will deliver cebas' 4th generation Global Illumination engine and a highly flexible shader-tree system to the Maya communities.

Maya 8(32-bit) plug-ins are expected to ship within two weeks after SIGGRAPH closes. The Maya 64-Bit release of cebas plug-ins is expected to ship in a few weeks time after SIGGRAPH 2006 closes.


Note:
64-Bit plug-ins require a 64-Bit Processor (AMD or INTEL) and also they a 64-Bit operating system (e.g. Windows XP x64). 64-Bit software will not operate in a 32-bit only environment.
