Turtle in 3D World

Rendering software guide by 3D World features Turtle

In the latest issue of 3D World, nr 126, there is a guide to rendering software and we are thrilled that Turtle are included, both in the magazine and online. The guide is an aid to cut through the confusion and help to find the renderer one really needs.

This is what the guide has to say about Turtle:

Initially perceived as a more general-purpose global illumination renderer, Turtle quickly found its niche in games, where it developed a reputation as a fast, flexible system for baking lighting information. Employed on such distinctly different-looking recent productions as Dragon Age: Origins, Killzone 2 and Mirror’s Edge, users praise its feature set, the flexibility offered by Lua scripting, and the technical support offered by developer Illuminate Labs. There may be other ways to solve the problem of creating lighting assets for games, but for its power to enable a studio to quickly iterate the look and feel of a level, Turtle is largely unchallenged in this sector of the market at the minute.

The guide is available in pdf version for download here, Rendering software guide.
