A little while back Isotropix announced Clarrise iFX 2.0 and showed off some of its features at the 2014 Siggraph show.

Clarisse is Isotropix’s “next generation” 2d/3d rendering tool which almost acts as a hybrid of animation tools, a compositing and a 3d rendering engine all in one super fast application, as Clarisse iFX is designed to render progressively and very quickly making use of the computers CPU for rendering.

Clarisse iFX 2.0 sports a new AOV engine in Clarisse iFX 2.0 making it easy to render out standard production rendering passes for compositing.

Another notable element is the addition of OpenColorIO integration, which will now offer high end color management directly in Clarisse iFX 2.0.
