SiNi Installer v1.24.0

The headline news in this latest release is that the SiNi plugins now support Redshift and Chaos V-Ray Scene (.vrscene) file format.

Scatter, Disperse and Illumi plugins live-link real-time rendering in Chaos Vantage.

SiNi has worked with the team at Maxon to add support for Redshift 3.0.51+. The Desipher, Scatter and SiClone objects support standard Redshift rendering only in this release, with IPR support soon. 

The Illumi HDRI wizard has been updated to include a new setup tab to allow users to add multiple file paths to HDRI libraries. The previews now include exposure settings to view library images more accurately. Illumi also now includes support for Redshift. This includes standard Redshift rendering and IPR.

SiNi and Chaos have worked hard to ensure our plugins include full support for V-Ray 5.2 interactive rendering as well as supporting the V-Ray Scene file format to share assets with other applications that run V-Ray, including Chaos cloud rendering services and Chaos Vantage. For example, 3ds Max users can live-link to Vantage to use the software’s advanced real-time rendering capabilities in parallel to working with SiNi parametric object plugins and look-dev HDRI lighting with Illumi.

SiClone’s sample parametric models have been updated to include a Redshift materials option. The models include sample setups for handrails, fences and balustrades.
