Hasta La Motion!

The trial version of finalRender 3.5 SE for 3ds Max (2009 – 2011, both 32- and 64-bit) is fully featured and includes all modules of its highest end version, as well as the industry leading non-photo-realistic rendering system, finalToon 3.5. thinkingParticles 4 is also available as a trial.

Except for the watermarked render output, all aspects of the trial version are identical to the full license, including its complete feature set, as well as the software’s blazing rendering speed.

No Time Limitation for cenas Trials

The trial version runs without time limitation. Watermarked renderings are unsuitable for commercial use, but once a customer has purchased a full license, saved files created in the trial version can be re-rendered to create clean output, so no work is lost.


Try it, You’ll Like It!

CFO and co-founder Achim Smailus noted: “We are confident that the quality of finalRender will speak for itself and convince many new users of its power, reliability, and industry leading technology, once they become familiar with it.”

I have a really annoying problem with Particular 2.1.2 and Nuke 6.2v2.
Particular crashes really often when I do changes in the settings and sometimes it fills the viewer with a solid red colour. Anyone that has experienced something like this? It’s the demo version of Particular.

I get this error message in the console when I open up the Particular node, Nuke still operates, but this message is repeated every time I open the node.
"Warning: EndTabGroup with no matching BeginTabGroup."

I have re-installed Particular and Nuke, but it seems that nothing helps.

Cheers
