• Are you trying to produce spectacular volumetric effects: smoke, clouds, tornadoes, fire, large bodies of splashing water?
  
• Did the client request 4K renders and you're wondering how you can even deliver 2K because your shots are taking days of renderfarm time to complete?
  
• Does your current solution severely restrict your artist's productivity and creativity? Does it threaten your deadline?

You should be using the 5x5 Voxel Renderer!

A voxel renderer greatly helps to produce volumetric effects like smoke, clouds, fire and large bodies of splashing water. Myrtle Software's 5x5 Voxel Renderer is the world's first commercial voxel renderer capable of producing all the intermediate images required for production quality visual effects. The 5x5 Voxel Renderer is a big powerful tool for producing stunning visual effects.

Volumetric effects can be particularly challenging to achieve. In most cases achieving the look and motion of the effect are two separate, labouriously iterative, processes. The 5x5 Voxel Renderer gives a user a higher level of control. It allows an artist to preview volumetric effects as they are constructed - at any resolution. This means you can flip-book the look and motion of your effect in a realistic time before you render. There is even an OpenGL preview render for when you need that little extra bit of feedback. The 5x5 Voxel Renderer's resolution independent method of describing volumetric effects provides a unique artist friendly work-flow in which you can build seriously complex effects. Add/subtract and composite your effects together then stamp them all over the place to obtain effects only previously achievable only with billions of particles and days of render time.

5x5 Features & Benefits:

• *NEW FEATURE* Now Completely scalable! Volumetric stamping feature allows you to use existing volumetrics as elements
• *NEW FEATURE* Simple deep shadow map generation for all volumetrics created using 5x5 (even stamped effects). Makes integration into your scenes easy
• *NEW FEATURE* Simple object matte generation - no need to re-render the volumetric every time an object's path through it changes
• Designed to streamline an artists' work-flow - simultaneously increasing productivity and unleashing creativity
• Comprehensive visual feedback includes view-port volumetric previews and front-to-back OpenGL preview renders
• Elegant and powerful way of working with volumetric effects gives users a higher level of control
• Unique flexible, resolution independent, method of describing volumetric effects allows you to composite and combine effects together in complex new ways
• Multi-pass renderer - produces a collection of key images, colour masks and mattes so that lighting can be established and controlled in a composite after rendering
• Simple to integrate into any existing pipeline
• Camera frustum aligned voxel spaces for efficiency
• You can't buy anything else like it
