AMC Bridge released Cloud Render: CAD add-in
AMC Bridge released Cloud Render 1.0 - add-in to SolidWorks, which offers physically based rendering of 3D models on the Microsoft Windows Azure cloud platform.
Physically based rendering provides images of much higher fidelity, but requires significant computational resources. That is why traditionally it is been outside the reach of the mainstream 3D mechanical CAD community and has been primarily used in digital art and entertainment industry. Cloud Render add-in provides an access to huge computational resources on the Windows Azure cloud platform and gives some interesting new opportunities to the CAD users.
