KarismaCG, known as the overseas brand Tornado, is widely adopted at over 300 broadcast sites worldwide, providing accurate and reliable graphics for newsrooms, election broadcasts, sports events, weather broadcasts, and more.
One of the key highlights of KarismaCG3 is the implementation of Physically Based Rendering (PBR) shading, which significantly enhances the visual experience for viewers with advanced rendering effects. Additionally, it supports content editing and playback in resolutions up to 8K, beyond 4K, and boasts industry-first HDR 10-bit support. New features such as real-time shadows and skeleton animation further enhance 3D graphic representation, offering viewers an unprecedented visual experience.
