Impressive splash page - but what makes this anything other than advertising? Is there something worth demonstrating on the technical side?

- teraflop 9y agoYeah, I don't see what makes this software special. The main technical selling point seems to be the ability to provide quantitative illuminance values, but that feature has been available in both commercial (e.g. 3DS Max) and open-source (e.g. LuxRender) renderers for years.
- martinbundgaard 9y agoI think a bunch of HN readers are also interested in software product design. To me, this looks like a nice example of that. They appear to be taking a selection of fairly complicated functionality and packaging it so that non-technical people (architects?) can use it when discussing lighting options with people who they are helping design their houses.
- Pulcinella 9y agoI wouldn't describe architects as "non-technical."
- abyssin 9y agoI thought it looked like a very clever way of advertising. It directly associates the brand with the idea of light.
