Infini-D


Infini-D was a 3D computer graphics program developed by Specular International. It was continued by MetaCreations when Specular merged with them, developing up to version 4.5, then combined with Ray Dream Studio to create Carrara. Soon after, Metacreations divested itself of all products other than MetaStream, including Carrara, which was sold to Eovia, who then sold it to the current developer, DAZ, upon Eovia's breaking up.
Infini-D was a diverse package, useful for creating print images as well as web and video media It was notable for its friendly interface, and ability to queue and distribute render jobs to a render farm, freeing the artist's computer for other tasks. Distributed Rendering was initially handled through a separate program, BackBurner, but it was incorporated into Infini-D with the release of version 4. Infini-D was especially popular in the Macintosh market.
