SEATTLE, WA (August 9, 2005) - SplutterFish LLC, a high-end 3D rendering software solutions provider, today announced that the Brazil Rendering System™ Version 2.0 for Autodesk® 3ds max® and VIZ™, the newest version of its highly-praised 3D Rendering software, was shown for the first time publicly at the international SIGGRAPH Exhibition in Los Angeles, CA (August 2nd -4th 2005).
