It is available only as a plugin for 3ds Max and supports path tracing, GPU rendering, animation rendering, and denoising; cloud rendering is not included. A built-in converter imports scenes from Corona, V-Ray, and Octane. The stable v2.0.0Z1 release lists Intel Open Image Denoiser, FStorm Scatter, and FStorm Instancer. The maker describes in-house technology aimed at speed, quality, and photorealistic results. The listed FStormRender plan costs $30 a month for one PC, with no free plan. Activation requires signing in with an account registered on the maker’s website. One account can be used on unlimited computers, but simultaneous use on multiple computers is prohibited. Active users can receive new versions and technical support by telephone or online. PinkSoft LTD has developed it since 2015 in Astana, Republic of Kazakhstan.
