Thea Render v1.1 Now Available! |

Dear friends,
it has been a while since our last revision, but we took the summer to enhance Thea Render as much as possible. And now, we are coming out with our next edition v1.1, codename "Chameleon", another great milestone accomplished!
The new edition has two very important additions. The first is a performance improvement, up to x2, which makes Thea faster than ever (tech announcement here) while the second is the very important integration with Motiva Colimo (tech announcement here) that makes possible to generate "infinite" variations from a single render!
But it is not only the additions above. There are some cool features in Thea that improve the workflow a lot. Like the History panel, which based on the feedback so far, it is of those features that once you have used it, you simply cannot go back! Please take a look at our v1.1 Demoreel (watch on youtube, watch on facebook) that shows all the new things in fast forward.
You can find the download links to our newest Thea v1.1 in our webpage. You can also download the newest Colimo v1.2 from our webpage and explore the new "repaint" feature. Don't forget to watch our video tutorials, particularly the new ones, showing the changes introduced in v1.1 (watch on youtube, watch on facebook) and the integration with Colimo (watch on youtube, watch on facebook).
Even more, we have set a special promotional offer for Colimo application, that you can buy now in the special price of 99 euros (nominal price at 139 euros; vat not included and will be applied for EU private customers). This offer is a limited one for a period of 2 weeks (until Monday 10 October) and only available for Thea licensed users or users purchasing Colimo along with Thea Render.
I hope that you will enjoy the new revision as much we enjoyed creating it! The warm spirit of the community and the people contributing makes the process both challenge and fun!
Yours

Release on February 21st! |

Dear friends,
Thea Render is a new renderer with multiple render modes (unbiased and biased), interactive render, a unique material system, advanced studio and many other features that we are researching and creating with a lot of love for 3 years now. Starting from the previous year, the renderer is going under an open beta testing phase and it has been available from our website along with exporter plugins (for 3dsMax, Blender, Cinema4D, Rhino, SketchUp, SoftImage and the upcoming for Modo).
If you would like to see a collection of images rendered using Thea, you can check out our fresh 2011 Showreel on Youtube or ShowReel on Facebook, where you are very welcomed to join us.
We have finally a release date to announce! We feel that we have finished a first cycle of our development and besides ironing out the application, there were quite a lot of tech advances. We believe that Thea has already reached a high level of quality/stability and so, our release date is set for 21st of February! This is also when we will end our promotional discounted prices on Thea and associated plugins.
A release date means also a lot to us. It is a new "starting point" to go even further, making Thea standing out of competition. We are very excited to see what the future brings and we would like to insist that Thea star will only be rising.
Yours

Academic Licenses Now Available |
|
Wednesday, 24 November 2010 06:50 |
|
Dear friends,
we are happy that we are now able to sell Thea Render and plugin licenses to academic faculty. The academic licenses are intended for students or teachers, can be used for studying, teaching or research but not for any kind of commercial work. Academic licenses are fully functional, just like the commercial ones, and there is no time limit in using them (as long as the academic identity still holds).
The academic licenses are of single type, i.e. Thea Render and plugins can be installed on up to one machine and there are no node licenses included. Students can buy up to 2 licenses but there is no limit for teachers. There is also a Lab license (10 Thea Render licenses) with discount (discount is already included in the shown price).
Before ordering an academic license, we need to confirm your academic/student identity. Please contact us, providing the following documentation.
- Scanned copy of university/college enrollment paper (employment paper for teachers).
- Scanned copy of student ID with name and photo clearly seen (faculty ID for teachers).
- A university e-mail account that will serve for product activation.
These documents will be strictly used for user verification. If some of them are not available, please contact us since there may be a solution by providing alternative documentation.
Yours
