Rhino 5.0 90-Day Evaluation (2011-11-08)
Such a long time …
This fully functional version is the same as the commercial version for the first 90 days after installation. After that it is still fully functional, except it will not save, and will not load plug-ins. It will still work great to learn Rhino and as a viewer for Rhino and many other file formats.

Maxwell Render Suite 2.6 is out NOW!

Highlights
- Hair rendering: Introducing a new procedural primitive for rendering hair- compatible with the most popular hair systems (Shave & Haircut, Maya Hair, Max Hair, Ornatrix, Cinema Hair)
- Particle rendering: New procedural primitive for particles- compatible with the most popular particle systems (RealFlow particles, Maya particles, 3dsMax)
- Support for Vector displacement has been added
- Much faster (transform) motion blur
- Referenced MXS files: It is now possible to load references of MXS files in your main scene file, which are added only at render time, dramatically reducing export times especially for animations, and reducing scene transfer times when network rendering.
- Support for referenced materials has been added
- Scripting: Maxwell Render SDK now includes a standalone python editor and scripting examples
- Displacement: A second displacement algorithm has been added, much faster than the previous one
- Big improvements in image processing, filtering and aliasing: Enhances overall quality of the render, aliasing, sharpness, chromatic noise, dithering, etc and faster image generation routines. A new interactive parameter -sharpness -interactively controls the aliasing
- Advanced integration with RealFlow- a new smart workflow which allows you to handle RealFlow output and generate both meshes and particles in render time, saving precious disk space and greatly reducing export times.
