Visual Nature Studio 3 Feature of the Week

Years in the making, VNS 3 is the biggest 3D Nature upgrade ever.

With features that immediately benefit everyone from beginner to advanced users, VNS 3 is already producing great results in the projects of visualization experts around the world.

Each week our Feature of the Week will focus on one of the new cutting-edge features VNS 3 offers. This week's feature is:

Fast Rendering

VNS 3 is faster than ever at getting great looking projects out the door. Taking advantage of new capabilities of modern CPUs like SSE2, we've recoded critical pieces of code to run significantly quicker. Hand-tuned optimizations make better use of memory and CPU cache to get the same job done in less time. Features like Phong Shading and Ecosystem Blending let you use much lower Fractal Depth than in VNS 2, meaning less work and better looking renders in no time.

Major improvements:
  • VNS 3 uses (and requires) CPUs with SSE2 capability to speed up numerous operations.
  • Phong shading allows for lower fractal depth and faster rendering.
  • Numerous textures have been sped up.
  • Better use of processor caches.
  • Faster results and better quality all at the same time.
