This latest version of Pencil+ introduces camera\r\n\tmodifiers, enhancements to render elements output and more, offering new kinds of expression and new ways of working.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2>About Pencil+ 3<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t<div class=\"col-sm-3 text-center\">\r\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid mb-3\" src=\"\/en\/images\/stories\/products\/pencil3\/news-pencil3pack.png\" \/>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"col-sm-9\">\r\n\t\t<p>Pencil+ 3 is a non-photorealistic shader plug-in for 3ds Max which produces strokes similar to those seen in pencil sketches. It produces images that look like pen drawings or color pencils as well as flat presentations similar to animation cels. It\r\n\t\t\tmakes it possible to reproduce in 3D the distinctive art style of Japanese animation and illustrations.<\/p>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>What's New in Pencil+ 3<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\tImprovements were made to the core of the material and line computations, making it possible to implement render element output with a high level of freedom while preserving the high rendering speed of materials and lines. Furthermore, the addition of\r\n\tthe Modifier features enables advanced perspective control; a previously difficult task in 3DCGs. This feature makes it possible to modify the lens according to the distance to the camera or to move vanishing points arbitrarily.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2>Host Application<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\t3ds Max 2008 \/ 2009 \/ 2010 \/ 2011<br \/> (Compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit versions.)<br \/>\r\n\t<br \/> *The mental ray renderer is not supported.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Hardware<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\tRequirements identical to those of the host 3ds Max version.<br \/>\r\n\t<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2>Price<\/h2>\r\n<table class=\"table table-bordered\">\r\n\t<tbody>\r\n\t\t<tr class=\"table-active\">\r\n\t\t\t<th><strong>Stand-Alone License<\/strong><\/th>\r\n\t\t\t<th class=\"w-25 text-end\"><strong>\uff08Tax included\uff09<\/strong><\/th>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t\t<tr>\r\n\t\t\t<td>Download Version<\/td>\r\n\t\t\t<td class=\"text-end\">52,500 Yen<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<h2>Purchase Method<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\tSold on the PSOFT Store.<br \/>\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/store\/\">https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/store\/<\/a><br \/>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2>Demo Version Download<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/download\/pencil\/\">https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/download\/pencil\/<\/a><br \/>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2>Related Links<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/\">https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/<\/a><br \/>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2>Related Documents<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\t&quot;PSOFT Pencil+ 3&quot; Product Summary<br \/>\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/product\/pencil\/\">https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/product\/pencil\/<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\tAccessed through the Product Summary page above.<br \/>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2>Inquiries<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\tP SOFTHOUSE Co., Ltd. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/\">https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\tFor products-related inquiries, please use the form below.<br \/> Contact page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.psoft.co.jp\/en\/contact\/ \r\n<\/a>\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-6118","pressrelease","type-pressrelease","status-publish","hentry"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"sow-carousel-default":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"leedawoon","author_link":"https:\/\/maintenance.psoft.co.jp\/en\/news\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Sendai, Japan - September 7, 2010 - P SOFTHOUSE (location: Sendai city, Miyagi prefecture, Japan, CEO: Keiki HATAKEYAMA) is proud to announce the release, on September 7, of the English language version of &quot;PSOFT Pencil+ 3&quot;, a non-photorealistic shader plug-in for 3ds Max which produces strokes similar to those seen in pencil sketches.
