Shade 8 is the 3D graphics toolkit for designers, illustrators and architects. Find out what 200,000+ Shade users already know – Shade is the 3D application with the richest tool set available, all at an impressively low price. Now up to 20% faster on Intel Mac (UB) computers, 64-bit capable on Windows!

Shade 8 professional offers one of the best values in its class. Consider these sophisticated features that you can only find in applications costing the multiples of what your pay for Shade 8:

Shade 8 Professional is the 3D graphics toolkit that delivers powerful 3D modeling, rendering and animation for designers, illustrators and architects. Shade's intuitive, easy-to-use interface and 1,700+ included 3D objects such as furniture, buildings and vehicles speed up the design and modeling process to improve workflow. Modeling is aided by comprehensive mesh editing tools. Shade imports and exports popular CAD formats, and incorporates raytracing and radiosity to produce superior renderings of imported projects. Rendering times can be dramatically reduced via distributed rendering over many machines at once.

Feature Include:

Shade 8 is now Mac UB compatible, running at blazing speeds on Intel Macs.
On Windows it offers 64-bit support (supported over 2GB memory rendering)!
Create QuickTime VR panoramas or object movies directly from Shade
Support for 3D sound (wav, au, aif, aiff), that users can import and mix with animation and output together into movie file.

Path Constraints plugin - easy to create linked motion.
Boolean and Bezier modeling, Polygon mesh modeling, Auto-smoothing of curves and more to detail projects.

Global Illumination renderer includes Photon Mapping, Path Tracing, Raytracing and Radiosity-with-physics for photorealistic imagery. Callisto, the rendering plugin with global illumination and detailed settings, has been upgraded. A translucent shader and metallic shader have been added, and aberration is now supported.

Network rendering and render queue with support for unlimited nodes (professional) or one additional node (standard). Shade also able to automatically search all available ShadeGrid servers that running on the same local area network and display the IP addresses in the preference dialog.

Supports pixel depth in 32-bits, 64-bits and 128-bits for all rendering image output.
