Bunkspeed Pro
Suite 2012 Review

by Mark Clarkson

The Bunkspeed Pro Suite 2012 includes the capabilities of Bunkspeed Shot (rendering) and Move (animation), as well as distributed rendering, displacement maps and actual lights.

I reviewed Bunkspeed Shot back in January. Opening Bunkspeed Pro 2012 for the first time, I found everything to be very familiar, except there were no resources on my hard drive. Rather, everything is on the web--"in the cloud," at least, at first. Once you create a Bunkspeed account, you can access an ever-growing collection of materials, environments, background plates and models (although, at the moment, there's only the one model). Once you apply a material, for example, it's downloaded automatically to your hard drive, where it's immediately available at any time.
