3Delight

Rendering software for VFX and animation production

Visit 3Delight

3DelightNSI is the company's rendering plug-in, available for Autodesk Maya, SideFX Houdini (beta), Maxon Cinema 4D, and built into Foundry's Katana. A USD Hydra plug-in, developed as an open source initiative with J-Cube, converts USD to NSI commands so 3DelightNSI can act as a rendering back-end. 3Delight Cloud lets users render interactively using thousands of cores. Daz Studio also includes 3Delight based on the company's legacy RenderMan-compliant technology.
