Ozone 4.0 - Atmospheres That Come Alive |
|
 The Ozone 4.0 plug-in lets you create and render hyper-realistic skies and atmospheres in 3ds Max, Maya, XSI, Lightwave and Cinema4D. Ozone 4.0 implements the cutting-edge technologies developped by e-on software for the simulation and rendering of atmospheric effects. Its atmospheres provide an accurately simulated environment that affects all elements of your scenes and behaves according to nature’s rules. Ozone 4.0 is built on the same algorithms and integration technology as Vue xStream, but is limited to atmospheres and skies. |

With four atmospheric models – spectral, volumetric, standard and environment mapping, over 100 preset atmospheres and 100 preset cloud shapes, Ozone 4.0 is the most complete, realistic and productive solution for creating skies and atmospheres that come alive.
Your atmospheres can be as realistic as what you see out your window or they can be as imaginative as the green and purple sunsets of uncharted planets.

Compatibility
A single license of Ozone 4.0 can now be used with all compatible applications and renderers installed on your system, without requiring the purchase of any Extra Renderer licenses (unlike what was the case with Ozone 3.0).
- Ozone 4.0 for Maya works with both MentalRay and Maya software renderers.
- Ozone 4.0 for 3ds Max and XSI works with MentalRay.
- Ozone 4.0 for LightWave and Cinema4D works with the native renderer.

Integration with MentalRay
Ozone 4.0 is compatible with MentalRay for 3ds Max, Maya and XSI.
This compatibility extends to specific technologies, such as mr Sun&Sky, Photometric Lights or Distributed Bucket Rendering.
Ozone 4.0 will automatically adjust it's settings to match the effects of these features, whenever they are used.
Rendering flexibility
)
Ozone 4.0 lets you easily disable the rendering of the Vue sky and/or atmospheric effects (e.g. when using mr Sun&Sky). You can even disable the rendering of Ozone content altogether, for instance if you want to perform tests on the host-application-part of the scene. If the entire Ozone content is disabled from render, the Ozone 4.0 plug-in won't be loaded in the first place.
Ozone atmospheric effects can be rendered alongside other volumetric plug-ins running in the host application (contingent upon the implementation of the plug-in). For instance, rendering alongside LightWave HyperVoxels or Maya Fluids is possible.

Sample Ozone 4.0 preset atmospheres
With its easy to use interface and wide range of features, Ozone 4.0 is the essential tool for animators and still creators seeking professional atmospheric results.
Bright sunshine, glorious sunsets, bad weather, moonlit nights – Ozone 4.0 handles them all. With over 100 predefined atmospheres and an intuitive interface, you can achieve exactly what you had in mind in minutes!
Customize every aspect of the atmosphere. Raise and lower the sun or change the direction or color of the sunlight. Add storm clouds to create an ominous mood. Create a thick, moisture-laden atmosphere where objects get lost in the mist. Add layer upon layer of clouds, adjusting their complexity, density, altitude and shape. Add a rainbow for a special effect, or stars and ice rings. You are in total control.
