I'm proud to announce that, after 4 years of exciting development, the first public version of Paradise Sandbox is now online!
Paradise Sandbox is a real-time scene-builder & visualization tool aimed at architects and 3D hobbyists who are used to work with 3D CAD software whose output models don't have enough detail/quality for being rendered in real-time with great visual results (Trimble SketchUp, Catia, ...).
Paradise Sandbox will automatically enhance your models with real-time reflections, ambient occlusion, shadows, hundred of lights, water materials... and stunning skies, volumetric clouds, thunderstorms and oceans. Also, you'll be able to change your objects's materials with a simple mouse right-click, using the built-in material database (200+ materials, which will quickly grow in the coming months)!
Main features:
- Full-featured world editor
- Import from more than 45 file formats
- High-quality render client (real-time)
- AAA hybrid rendering pipeline and state-of-the-art post-processing effects
- 200+ built-in materials
- Stunning physically-based oceans, skies and volumetric clouds
- PRO version at a hobbyist price: 59.95€ until 30th November! (99.95€ after launch offer)
- FREE version
- Timeline-based animation/path system
- High-quality offline render system
- Volumetric terrain with editing capabilities
