Vectorworks 2019 is specialist and powerful software that is pleasantly user-friendly. It comes in five variants:
Fundamentals (the basic package, short on specialist libraries but containing all core 2D and 3D functionality)
Architect – for architecture and built environment work
Landmark – for landscape/environment design
Spotlight – for event and exhibition design
Designer – incorporates all these versions, ideal for multi-discipline practices.
If you’re looking for previz software to create unmatched experiences, you can with Vectorworks Vision, also at 40% off when purchased with a 1-year VSS membership.
Offer applies to new licenses of Vectorworks for new customers when committing to a 1-year VSS membership at full price.

KeyShot by Luxion, is a processor-driven rendering application that works equally well on Windows and Mac. It is a biased renderer meaning it accelerates rendering by estimating lighting calculations – but it does so extremely effectively. KeyShot comes as KeyShot HD or KeyShot Pro, where Pro includes a range of animation tools and additional options and features. KeyShot HD was previously limited to HD resolution but the output is now unlimited – making it even more appealing.
We’re also running 20% OFF all week long on upgrades and add-ons until November 30th! Enter KSCYBER20 at checkout to get the discount.
Offer does not apply to EDU and Maintenance products.
Enter CYBER18NXT at checkout to get the discount!
RealFlow is an industry-standard, out-of-the-box fluid simulation software. Fast and easy to use, it is compatible with ALL major 3D platforms.

Maxwell Render is 3D rendering software for architects and designers. Legendary for its quality and realism, Maxwell delivers great results via a simple setup which lets you focus on the lighting.
Maxwell Render is also available as a plugin for all major modelling platforms – find yours below:
Maxwell for SketchUp, Maxwell for Rhino, Maxwell for Maya, Maxwell for 3ds Max, Maxwell for Cinema 4D, Maxwell for ArchiCAD, Maxwell for Revit, Maxwell for formZ, Maxwell for MODO and Maxwell for Rhino Mac.
RealFlow is an industry-standard, out-of-the-box fluid simulation software. Fast and easy to use, it is compatible with ALL major 3D platforms. You can use RealFlow for small to large scale simulations, ocean surfaces, body dynamics and much more.
As well as a standalone renderer compatible with all major 3D platforms, RealFlow for Maya and RealFlow for Cinema 4D allow you to work directly within your modeller without breaking your workflow.
We’re already celebrating the World Cup with 20% OFF RealFlow and Maxwell Render – but it gets better.

RealFlow lets you create high quality fluid sims and is compatible with all major 3D applications.
Take your simulations to the next level with the astonishing quality of DYVERSO. Thanks to the powerful new DY-SPH and DY-PBD solvers and the addition of GPU acceleration, your simulations will be lightning fast. Exceed your expectations and build smooth layered meshes, making your simulations more realistic than ever.
For large-scale simulations, such as floods or oceans with breaking waves, RealFlow’s cutting-edge HyFLIP solver, Hybrido2, provides you with endless possibilities.
RealFlow’s grid fluid solver, also called “Hybrido” (hybrid large dimension liquid solver), is a sophisticated method of simulating medium and large-scale fluids. This technology also includes the automatic creation of secondary splash and foam particles, as well as mist. With Hybrido it is possible to simulate everything from floods to ocean scenes – scenes that are hard to create with RealFlow’s traditional particle emitters.
Maxwell Render is a go-to application for convincing 3D visualisation across a range of platforms.
Maxwell Render is a standard in architectural visualisation and is built on an unbiased render engine that provides accurate-to-life lighting results.
With fluid integrations within applications like Rhino and 3DS Max, Maxwell provides users with an effective and convincing alternative to prototyping and photography.
Next Limit have announced that the Maxwell | Solidworks and Maxwell | MODO integration will be discontinued due to decreasing demand for the plugin.

There are 3 options available:
FREE crossgrades will be available via the Next Limit Portal until the end of 2018.
3D art challenge for the best car in Post-Apocalyptic style. You can choose any related topic from zombie survival vehicles to the Mad Max universe – there is no limit to your creative ideas. Participation in the contest is open to all comers, whose works comply with the rules.
Everything is as usual: you have to create a car 3d model, put it into 3D environment and make a beautiful render. Primarily the judges will pay attention to the visual component of your works, but this is not all that you need to win. The idea of the work is also very important, as well as its presentation, complicacy (both of the model and of the scene) and quality of performance.
The contest is supported by the best companies of the 3D world and so the prizes for the first places look amazing. Also, everyone has an opportunity to receive an additional prizes.
Renderers supporting the competition include KeyShot, Maxwell Render and Corona.
Your work can be submitted from March 13th to May 29th 2018 – submissions end at 15:00 (GMT)
Further information on the competition and it’s prizes can be found here.
