Artists can now light their scenes with real-time feedback using V-Ray RT as the ActiveShade renderer and HDR Light Studio's innovative interactive HDR canvas. Sophisticated lighting environments can be created in moments to perfectly light and reflect in a shot. It’s a new approach to light V-Ray scenes, seeing the lighting interact with materials in an artist’s final shot.

This latest Live connection is a free update for existing HDR Light Studio 4 customers who already benefit from the wide range of connectivity including an Autodesk Maya connection which also supports V-Ray.

Lightmap HDR Light Studio 4.1, including the new Autodesk 3ds Max and V-Ray connection, is available immediately for $499 through the online Lightmap store or any Lightmap authorized reseller.
