It's a free renderer and under open beta now.
I've downloaded, but there is no max2012 plugin. (only exist 3dsMax9~2011 plugin).
But it contain Blender plugins.

Hard to tell how much post work was done on these (seems like quite a bit), but the renders in the gallery are really nice. Thanks for posting. Could be worth keeping an eye on.

Interesting to see Evermotion is branching into the render engine business (unless it's developed by someone else and they're just re-distributing it, but I can't find anywhere that says that). Good to see they've chosen unbiased. Will be interesting to follow, a real competitor to Lux.

It is their own

The bokeh effect in this pic is stunning !!
and their post built-tools seems very efficient. Capabilities to change DOF after rendering or add Chromatic abberation in bokeh effect is wouuahh

I was not expecting anything like this from the Evermotion guys. They must be tired of producing models so they are trying to find new ways of surviving.
Considering it's just for 3dsmax it looks pretty good so far. It will be interesting to see where this one is heading..

NOX - Evermotion physical based render engine.

Creating fake depth of field and glare effect.

yes hervé I noted that but the result is quite convincing and sucessfull , isn't it?

[sandykoufax]

As I know Evermotion is Archi-viz oriented site, so their renderer will do.

well to tell you .. I am not sure of what I see in your example you posted.. the Dof looks like a comp.. difficult to say..

but sure Arch people love these types of control... as for the rest, it looks like a Modo render a little bit... not sure either..

in my taste, saying Physical render engine.. and then taking shortcuts just gives a non physical engine.. but luckily Maxwell will stay unbiased to the bone...

At the end it all depends of your needs.. it should always fit your needs.. nuff say.. I am comfortable with Maxwell superior quality render engine.. so I am ok..

[alexxx_95]

in the pic posted, I simply find the bokeh effect so beautifull, it was not a war between real unbiased or "fake" unbiased" render engine... but just a spontaneous feeling about this pic. , nothing more

[Hervé]

I hear you Alexx.. no hate, no gun, no hitler costume, no king-kong mask... just a preference..

Bokeh and such are not important for what I do.. so.. but for some people it might be important to be able to fiddle with it.. no problem.. all tools are welcome.. the more tools we have.. the more impressive render we'll see all over..

now we can go all back to normal activity... hehe
