KeyShot is an interactive ray tracing and global light rendering program developed by Luxion from Denmark, based on the free, open-source and cross-platform physics-based, unbiased rendering engine - LuxRender (now called LuxCoreRender). It does not require complex settings to produce photorealistic 3D rendered images.

FaceRig is a powerful virtual character simulation game (works by using webcam to capture facial and body movements in real time and animate them), developed by Holotech Studios from Romania. Strictly speaking, it is not a video game in the traditional sense, but its unique interactivity is still favored by many players around the world and therefore widely used in various live scenes.

OGRE (short for Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) is a free, open-source, and cross-platform 3D graphics real-time rendering engine that is widely used in 3D simulation and game development fields, written in C++ in 2001. Because it is an open-source graphics engine, like Linux, it has been adapted and expanded by a variety of different groups and organizations, so that it can adapt to different application areas and has more powerful functions.

Due to the popularity of live streaming, the success of XSplit Broadcaster intensified the competition within the Internet-based broadcasting software industry. OBS is one of the live streaming apps that wants to surpass XSplit. So far, it has been slightly better than XSplit in terms of functionality and performance. In addition, its official said it would be free forever (I hope so). This means that if XSplit doesn't master some revolutionary new technologies, it will soon be ruined by OBS.

iClone is a fast and real-time new generation of 3D animation production and rendering software developed by Reallusion from Taiwan in China. It can help user streamline and simplify the production of 3D animation, and utilize the GPU rendering ability to create unprecedented production efficiency and visual experience. Therefore, it is well-liked by the majority of animation designers.

Using computer hardware to provide real-time and high-definition video mixing is a task previously only possible on expensive dedicated hardware mixers. But things are different now. We can achieve the same goal with powerful software like vMix on computer. It provides users with a better live-broadcast video production plan, and provides video editors with more professional rendering and output functions.

Substance Painter (now called Adobe Substance 3D Painter) is a new-style 3D texture/map painting software, also the latest next-gen game mapping tool, which is mainly used for 3D model and animation making. It includes material drawing tools, particle brushes, rendering materials, material brushes, etc.; integrates the ray tracing renderer in 3D window; can render the most realistic graphic effects for users; and is pretty suitable for rendering synthesis, game making, material mapping, and so on fields.

CrazyBump is simple, easy-to-use yet professional 2D photo-to-3D map generation application. It doesn't offer many adjustable parameters, but still has a lot more details than the functionally similar Photoshop plugins, and is much easier to operate. Plus, it supports exporting normals, displacement, occlusion, specularity, and diffuse these five types of maps at the same time (i.e.: importing one image will result in five effects of maps simultaneously), as well as real-time preview.

Nowadays, many traditional industries (such as fashion design & production) increasingly depend on powerful and professional design software to complete production tasks better and efficiently. For the fashion industry in the past, the steps including patterning, material selecting, tailoring, sewing and more needed to be repeatedly modified and were very time-consuming in the process of designing clothes. However, we can rely on software like CLO now.

Earth Alerts is a practical natural disaster forecasting and warning system that can monitor and let users know all kinds of natural disaster events happening around the world in real time. It not only highlights the location of happening natural disasters on earth today with visual images, but also attaches detailed descriptive data. Better yet, all the data is updated online in real time.
