FurGen 1.0 for Rhino Released
Washington, D.C. – Liquid Tectonics, a technology development and design company, announces the release of FurGen 1.0, a plug-in for the NURBS modeler Rhinoceros. FurGen creates fur-like geometry for visualization with any Rhino compatible renderer. FurGen is being used by architects, visual artists, product designers, and landscape architects to generate affects like fur, grass, rugs, and many other visual effects.
“FurGen adds a whole new realm of capabilities for rendering in Rhino”, stated Liquid Tectonics Director, Damien Alomar. “Effects that were previously hard to achieve convincingly are now created with incredible ease and striking realism. We’ve also taken great care to make sure that FurGen is simple, yet powerful, and well integrated into Rhino so that both visual artists and casual renderers can quickly implement FurGen within their workflow.”
Jonah Barnett, a product designer who’s been testing FurGen since its initial beta release, said “FurGen offers features that many of us in Rhino’s visualization community have been looking forward to for years. With it’s highly responsive visual feedback, FurGen allows you to add details such as grass, fur, carpet, and brush bristles within seconds. This is a great tool, whether you are a designer, architect, or illustrator. And it is quite simply a lot of fun to use.”
FurGen has a 30-day trial available and can be purchased for $89. For more information please visit www.liquidtectonics.com/furgen
