Physical based realtime renderer for animations?

melviso

I have been wondering if there are any good pbr realtime renderer like marmoset but for rendering out animations or making short films.
I know some ppl might mention ue4 but I am looking for a simpler software. Same reason why ppl use marmoset instead of ue4 to showcase their models. I found this:

I am guessing it bakes the image based light unto the models,meaning if u move the object after importing into your app of choice like Maya, 3dsmax or Blender, the textures/reflections will not change?

Maya 2016 has the new Stingray PBS shader which I think would give you the desired results right in the Maya viewport. You could then render with Maya Hardware 2.0 or just a Playblast. Otherwise check out my Maya TGA PBL ShaderFX shader for a similar approach with the results directly in the viewport.

PolyHertz

You can also show off your animated PBR work with Sketchfab.

Thanks for the pointers. I use 3dsmax btw. I did some looking around. Seems like Marmoset might be cranking out a new version that allows rendering out realtime animations for films and stuff.

If that hppens, ue4 might get used less lol. Just that ue4 is quite complicated/technical whereas Marmoset is just very simple.
