LightWorks to Sell Caustic Graphics Products
 SHEFFIELD,
UK, Aug 5, 2009 - LightWorks, the world's leading supplier of rendering
solutions for developers of advanced 3D computer graphics software, today
announced a strategic partnership with Caustic Graphics, creators of
CausticRT.
CausticRT is an interactive ray tracing application platform, giving
users the ability to create photorealistic images in a computationally fast
and economical way. CausticRT is based on an algorithm that organize rays
into a dataflow that takes advantage of the computational power of CPU’s and
GPU’s available today. Also included is the new CausticGL API, which enables
developers to simplify the creation of ray tracing renderer and provides
accelerated performance on multi-core CPU’s and GPU’s. Working with Caustic
will allow LightWorks customers to take advantage of the Caustic technology
when it is introduced to the market in 2010.
Commenting on the partnership, David Forrester, CEO at LightWorks said,
“As early adopters of this technology, we’re really excited about our
partnership with Caustic Graphics as we believe their product has the
potential to offer real value to the marketplace. We see this collaboration
as a key development in the state-of-the-art technology incorporated within
LightWorks and invite people to watch a demo of this technology on our booth
at SIGGRAPH.”
“Lightworks rendering solutions are the perfect products to take
advantage of the CausticRT platform,” said James McCombe, co-founder and CTO
of Caustic Graphics. “Lightworks customers will surely notice the benefit of
our partnership through the high quality of images they’ll be able to create
in a much shorter amount of time. We’re also looking forward to giving demos
at this year’s SIGGRAPH.”
Caustic will be featured in a new LightWorks application – LightWorks
Artisan, which will be unveiled at SIGGRAPH, New Orleans. Visitors to the
LightWorks booth – 2635 – will be able to see the Caustic demo demonstrate
multi-core working whilst also illustrating the performance improvements
possible using Caustic.
