I've finally recompiled the BlurBeta plugins for Max 2025 and zipped them all up together so that you can download them here.

Who knows, maybe I will get around to recompiling some more before Max 2026 is released...

I just wanted to wish a happy new year to all of the visitors that still come to the site. All the best for 2025!

I have just done a massive update on the plugins in the database, adding new plugins and updating old plugins. Although I am not posting news lately, I am still regularly updating the site to keep it up to date.

I just wanted to wish a happy new year to all of the visitors that still come to the site. All the best for 2024!

I have written the same thing the last two years, but this year I really do hope that I can invest a bit more time here. The last few years have been quiet here due to a number of personal and work-related reasons, which have basically pushed this website to the back of the queue of things to do. I remain optimistic that I can get it going again, let's wait and see...

Scatter Tools is a powerful plugin to rearrange, randomize and redistribute the objects in your scene in a very simple and intuitive way. You can scatter your objects over the entire distribution surface, by face orientation, use vertices / spline knots, place at objects pivots or auto-populate furniture.

It has full support for Max groups, both for distribution surfaces and elements to scatter, and has 3 pre-built options to use as pivot positions for placing your objects: pivot, center or base. Built-in collision detection for all scattering methods means no overlapping objects, and you can easily move, rotate and scale your elements randomly to create variation.

It uses no particle systems, and there is no binding between elements, giving you full access to your objects, at all times. There is also no plugin-dependency, so you can work freely on your objects after using this tool.

ScatterTools is available for Max 2015 to 2023 and costs $32. A demo version is available here.

Dali Renderer is a fast, CPU-only AVX-optimized spectral Unidirectional Path Tracer. The classic simplicity of unidirectional Path Tracing allows Dali Renderer to remain fast, and the unique, previously unknown REDS algorithm in conjunction with Path Guiding technology allows efficient rendering of scenes with surface and volumetric caustics. Dali Renderer can work in two modes: RGB or Spectral. In spectral mode, it uses AVX-optimized HERO Wavelength extension for continuous spectrum. It delivers predictable, reliable, and physically accurate results.

Dali Renderer is available for Max 2018 to 2022 and costs $150 per year. A demo version is available here.
