Thinkbox Software Releases Frost
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (April 6, 2011) -- Thinkbox Software, developers of Deadline and Krakatoa, announces the release of Frost, a fast and flexible particle mesher that allows artists to convert point clouds to geometry several times faster than other leading industry standard tools. Frost will be unveiled at the National Association of Broadcasters Conference (NAB) April 11-14 in Las Vegas, NV. To book a Frost training session or demo at NAB, visit www.thinkboxsoftware.com/sales.
Frost is a particle mesher plug-in for Autodesk 3ds Max which can generate a single mesh from particles, vertex clouds, object positions and point data files using various iso-surface or geometry cloning techniques. Frost takes full advantage of modern multi-core hardware and can produce multi-million polygon meshes from millions of points in a matter of seconds without excessive processing memory usage.
