infiniMap has been thoroughly tested in production by us and our trusty beta testers. The main features of infiniMap are:

• Full compatibility to LightWave 3D's surfacing, allowing for an easy replacement of native image texture layers with infiniMap texture layers.
• Works as a procedural texture layer or as a node
• A user interface that remains as close as possible to the native image texturing interface provided by LightWave 3D, resulting in a minimal learning curve.
• Complete support for multi-threading to make full use of multi-processor, multi-core and/or hyper-threading computers.
• Low memory footprint.
• Shared image caches: Multiple instances of the same image use a shared cache, reducing the amount of memory required during rendering for scenes that re-use identical images (or single channels thereof).
• Useful tools to make working with infiniMap images easier, such as an automatic OpenGL preview layer generation tool to make infiniMap images visible in Layout.
• Free network render nodes.
• Unlicensed plugins can be used to load, render and save infiniMap enabled scenes, there is no need to purchase a license for every copy of LightWave 3D in your facility ¹⁾ .
• ScreamerNet network rendering support, of course.
• Convert images to the ECW/JPEG 2000 and OpenEXR format from within LightWave 3D
• Replace images globally
• Support for JPEG 2000 images with up to 28 bits per channel (a limitation of the JPEG 2000 standard).
• Free point upgrades, free support, free beer ²⁾ )
• A dedicated node for normal mapping
• Native support for PNG files to lower the memory requirements when converting
• Support for colour spaces
