Introducing GenArts Sapphire 5 for Autodesk: It's so fast you might need an airbag
Sapphire 5 features GPU acceleration and floating point support. Render times have been slashed dramatically so that projects once requiring overnight processing are now merely “over lunch.” Effects are fully GPU-enabled to provide artists a completely interactive user experience at HD resolutions and beyond.
