BOULDER, CO and CAMBRIDGE, UK – May 14, 2012 – Limitless Computing Inc.®, a leading provider of 3D mobile Augmented Reality, and ArtVPS Ltd, developers of Shaderlight™, the interactive rendering software for SketchUp, today announced the launch of Shaderlight Cloud Rendering powered by Limitless Computing. Combining the highest quality rendering from Shaderlight and proven technology from Limitless Computing, this innovative new tool delivers the fastest, most effective workflow for SketchUp users.

Shaderlight Cloud Rendering powered by Limitless Computing renders SketchUp animations up to 30x faster, and scenes up to 5x faster, delivering high resolution, photorealistic visualizations direct from SketchUp in hours, not days. It frees up desktop computers for other work, enabling Shaderlight users to handle multiple projects simultaneously.

Offering a low-cost alternative to rendering scenes and animations in-house, pricing starts from under $10, delivering high quality rendered images without investment in costly hardware.

Launching in booth 1908 at the AIA National Convention and Design Expo, Shaderlight Cloud Rendering powered by Limitless Computing will be available to all SketchUp and Shaderlight users in June.

Graham Wylie, CEO at ArtVPS Ltd said, “This launch removes any final barriers for SketchUp users’ wanting to deliver high quality renders, quickly, without tying up their systems. This is the natural progression for Shaderlight and we are delighted to be working with Limitless Computing on this exciting innovation.”

“Anyone who has limited hardware resources or a tight deadline will find this powerful solution a tremendous value,” commented Dr. Errin T. Weller, president, Limitless Computing Inc. “Animation sequences that would otherwise tie up workstations for days will be done on time and within budget.”
