The latest update to MachStudio Pro adds a dedicated exporter for 3ds Max 2009.  This exporter makes it fast and easy to export geometry, animation, and cameras out of Max.  The update also adds an extensive Materials/shader library, animatable fog, and additional render channels (for outputting to compositing software).

If you are not already familiar with MachStudio Pro, it is stand-alone, visualization and rendering software that lets 3D artists import their 3D models and then create and manipulate lights, materials, and HDR cameras in a real-time, non-linear workflow environment to achieve film quality results. Processes which normally would be separated into specialized tasks in production, or off-loaded to render farms, are instead possible as part of the creative workflow. It’s difficult to describe without actually seeing it in action, but this YouTube video gives a a taste of the real-time lighting workflow.

Samples of several 3ds Max architectural projects lit and rendered in MachStudio Pro can be seen at http://www.studiogpu.com/showcase .

Hi Did you know that the company GPU took there site down last week and it’s no longer available.
I am wondering if you got around to downloading and using MachStudioPrp. I have been developing an kids animation project for a while now and expected to use MSP in my workflow. I recently bought a new dell with the ATI8800 graphics card and downloaded the program. It certainly has something to offer. My problem is that I didn’t get around to downloading the exporter to get my Softimage modeling and animations to work into the program. If by any chance you have a copy of the plug-in or know someone who has I’d be ever so keen to get hold of one. Best wishes , Nic Knowland..

Firstly, this thread is over 2 years old, secondly the link is useless. Looks like the site was hacked and effectively taken down.
