The FurryBall RT plays an increasingly important role in our 3D configurator projects.. In AAA Studio has discontinued the development of FurryBall RT, its GPU-based production renderer for 3ds Max, Maya and Cinema 4D, and reduced the cost of the software to a “symbolic” price of 29 €/year.

Users of any version of the predecessor FurryBall can upgrade to an unlimited license for 39 €.
An innovative GPU production renderer, but struggling for revenue.
FurryBall, one of the first dedicated GPU-based production renderers, was developed by AAA Studio for its own animated features and built a user base that included Blizzard Entertainment, Valve, and Microsoft.
The software was renamed FurryBall RT in 2015 after a fundamental overhaul of the core code, but struggled for sufficient revenue despite a series of price cuts.
According to AAA Studio’s announcement, the software is now “free to all users”, although it is an unusual definition of “free,” since there is still a “symbolic price” of €29 / year to cover server costs.
No wonder you don’t get maintenance or support, but it’s still a cheap price for a powerful, production-proven tool and includes all three plugin versions.
Thank you for visiting.
