e-on releases ozone 5 for 3D atmospheres

e-on software recently announced the release and availability of Ozone 5, the companies plugin environment for creating hyper-realisitc atmoshperes for software packages such as 3Ds Max, Maya, Lightwave, and Cinema 4D. Ozone 5 adds support for V-ray and Mental Ray features, such as Sun&Sky, Photometric Lights, Distributed Bucket Rendering, etc. Ozone 5 is also fully compatible with V-Ray’s specific Sun and Sky technologies. Starting as one of the very first offerings from e-on software Ozone is based off of the same engine that drives the company’s Vue product line.

“The Ozone 5 plug-in lets you create and render hyper-realistic skies and atmospheres in 3ds Max, Maya, Softimage, Lightwave and Cinema4D. Ozone 5 implements the cutting-edge technologies developped by e-on software for the simulation and rendering of atmospheric effects. Its atmospheres provide an accurately simulated environment that affects all elements of your scenes and behaves according to nature’s rules. Ozone 5 is built on the same algorithms and integration technology asVue xStream, but is limited to atmospheres and skies.”
