Integrated to CATIA for design, the Shaderfarm Library is a powerful extension for your rendering needs in CATIA V6, CATIA V5.
Shaderfarm is a Dassault Systemes’ Technology Partner and creates powerful libraries of Digital Materials that extend the rendering capabilities of CATIA and selected 3DVIA products. Shaderfarm serves designers and industry leading companies such as Nikon, Panasonic, Tata and many others.
Shaderfarm specializes in rendering technologies and enables designers to see their products and designs with the highest possible realism both with real-time and ray-trace renderings. The goal is to support users to design in the CATIA software and provide the components to do, inside the same digital mock-up, high-end visualization.
Design visualization is enhanced through hundreds of available choices of :
- Lightings: extremely realistic light sources and background images that provide both the ambient light, reflections and even the intensity of the sun
- Shaders: integrated software components that allow to change the reflection/refraction properties of materials
- HDRI Environment images: representing typical indoor and outdoor scenes (custom shooting on request)
- High quality Textures and Material palette: high depth and ultra realistic details.
Shaderfarm’s main products are: the Shaderfarm Library, the Shaderfarm “Live” Library, the “X-real” option for measured materials, and custom development services for: Materials, Shaders, Textures and HDRI environments.
The Shaderfarm Library tightly integrates into the CATIA V5 and V6 environment. The Library supports CATIA real-time rendering features such as Spotlights, Point lights, Cameras and Shadow casting. The Shaderfarm Materials also support Sticker feature that allows to apply graphics stickers, labels and notes on top of the materials.
The Shaderfarm Materials are provided in well categorized CATmaterial file which gives a Graphic preview of the material straight in the User Interface of CATIA and makes the usage as seamless as simple Drag & Drop.
Furthermore, the Shaderfarm’s acquisition services creates stunning HDRI images that provide beautiful reflections and perfect realistic light to the 3D scene as well as accurate measured material if you want to reach physically realist renders.
