So it's just a renderer? I thought it would be some sort of easy-to-use and fast SPH simulator with some rendering features...

It's all looking very cool and I can't wait to give it a try but I am slightly confused as to what Teamup actually is. Some kind of rendering Dropbox? Is it just rendering or something more? I guess all will be revealed at Sigraph.

Well, the way it is being presented Multi-Optics™ (the name of the product) is a "renderer and real-time 3D collaboration" tool. But while a collaborative tool obviously needs the internet, this is setup as "Software as a service", being a "Cloud-based, monthly-paid service subscription". (Source)
As I dislike cloud schemes and they do not even support my trusty Opera browser,

that's one more beta I do not have to worry about anymore.

edit: quickly corrected myself...

well it all comes down to how much it costs, despite i never liked the cloud system either and prolly i will never use this.

I got there late, but I was able to attend Thiago's TeamUp party on Tues. Missed most of his presentation, but he showed me some stuff afterwards. Some REALLY nice renders VERY fast. It allows you to collaborate with a client on the other side of the world; either user on mac or pc (I think linux too, but not sure) can make changes to the materials, settings. Everything is physically based and because it renders in cloud, it is very fast. So rather than meeting client, getting notes, implement and render over night, repeat; You can "work" with client collaboratively to achieve exactly what they want. You can also send text messages to each other. They do not currently support animations, just stills.

They are still working on pricing. I heard mentioned $80/ month - $100/month

If you've got some nice looking models and want to see some great renders of them (I thought hair looked particularly good), contact Thiago about getting on Beta. He seemed like a really nice guy and it was great to thank him for his contributions to SI community.

I wonder what's different between this and, say, if the guys who make Maxwell decided to make it run on Amazon S3? multi-optics sounds like another physical light renderer

Sigh - yet another renderer.
I'd rather have a proper Lagoa update

would be interesting if it actually runs on a storage service.

right, I meant Amazon EC3 rather than S3

There is already something like that, for some time, called Felixrender.

well, Softimage users probably won't need this, but not everyone has "Mental Ray school"

. Sometimes I think it wasn't that bad to live with this only one renderer, having no chance to avoid learning... Let's say, all that people who started 3d with zBrush, seems to be completely unable to learn rendering.
There's also a need for product shoots, archiviz, so on...BTW I've already assisted in setup and maintenance of few local online product's catalogs. User is able to see a nice render from a few points of view - pics are rendered in advance, but it's easy to update whole thing, once it's automated. For now, using Blender and it's internal engine. Anyway if Thiago and company will have something to offer, I know where to say a few nice words
