New technological innovations, lower equipment costs and significantly improved pre and post production software are making 3D stereo available to new markets. Whether your aim is to inform, investigate or entertain, 3D visualisations are now affordable for the mainstream. For more information talk to and take a look at the following link

See3D Extends Render Farm

April 2008

See3D are in the process of putting the finishing touches to a new custom render farm developed from commodity components. This farm expands See3D's render capacity by over 400% and will allow the production of even more realistic animations. Initial testing with the farm at 50% capacity, together with modifications to our custom render-farm software, has shown massively descreased render times over the past few weeks. Matt Cawte, a See3D animator, commented, "Having many hundreds of CPU's at our fingertips means we can render multiple animations at the same time, all of them using higher quality effects, such as raytracing, ambient occlusion, specular maps etc. This gives us scope for a higher level of realism and room for experimenting with different styles."
