FurryBall

FurryBall: GPU-accelerated renderer for 3D animation and special effects

FurryBall is a GPU-accelerated renderer that is optimized for 3D animation and special effects. It uses raytracing algorithms to produce photorealistic imagery and is optimized to work well with fur, hair, and particle effects.

What is FurryBall?

FurryBall is a robust GPU-based renderer focused on speed and quality for 3D animation production. It utilizes advanced raytracing algorithms and GPU acceleration to achieve photorealistic results at fast speeds.

A key strength of FurryBall is rendering fur, hair, and particle effects efficiently. It employs special shaders and techniques to simulate the complex behavior of these elements accurately and render large numbers of hairs or particles without slowing down. This makes it an ideal choice for animated films or VFX with many fuzzy, hairy creatures or similar complex objects.

In addition, FurryBall delivers high-quality global illumination, caustics, subsurface scattering, motion blur, and depth of field effects. The easy-to-use interface integrates well into animation pipelines. It allows for distributed network rendering to scale for studio production.

While aimed primarily at animation, FurryBall could also provide photorealistic architectural visualization comparable to tools like V-Ray or Arnold. Overall, it brings cinema-quality rendering focused on furry/hairy subjects within reach of more studios.
