| - | * 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, | ||
| + | * 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 ((Even though we won't complain if you do. We do offer volume pricing as well as site licenses.)) . | ||
| + | * 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 ((O.k., so we're joking about the beer...)) ) | ||
| + | * A dedicated node for normal mapping | ||
| + | * Native support for PNG files to lower the memory requirements when converting | ||
| + | * Support for colour spaces | ||
