pmg announces messiahstudio 5.0

The 3D suite messiahStudio 5.0 has been launched by pmg, a culmination of more than a years worth of user suggested ideas and improvements.

PMG has added a new interactive renderer, that it calls Dynamic Render,which shows you fully rendered images of your scene as you make changes to it. It’s fully mutlithreaded, complete with anti aliasing and controls to adjust resolution and quality.

With the new Sketch mode, animators and directors can draw in 2D on top of each frame, draw corrections and guides for animation feedback, or rough out a motion in traditional cell style, before doing 3D animation. You can animate per frame with onion skin levels, 4 preset pens with erase, line and transparency settings.

UV Bake render allows users to render complex materials created in messiah’s shader flow, to a UV based texture map and export to game engines or models for sale.
