Introducing Knoll Light Factory v2.5!
We are excited to deliver this upgrade to all existing Knoll Light Factory customers. The focus of this upgrade is on speed. Each time we survey you guys we consistantly find speed is the most important requested feature, both for playback during creation and final rendering.
We have found the best way to deliver speed is to bring the GPU, or graphics processor, to the processing-party. As we implemented with Magic Bullet, we have GPU'd the Knoll render engine. For those not familar with this technology, it's really simple for you the user, but really complex and difficult for us, the developer. Here is all you have to know, if you have a supported graphics card plugged into your computer Knoll will automatically render and play back up to 10 times faster at real-time speeds. We say "up to real-time" because render speed depends on the type of card, hard drive and project you are rendering.
