The Lume Tools Collection is a series of shaders that provide a wide range of tools and natural effects for the 3ds max scanline renderer. First developed for the softimage platform and in conjunction with the artist and animators of Cyan, Inc., for use in RIVEN, the sequel to the hit CD-ROM game MYST, the LumeTools collection provides highly realistic natural effects for real world 3D Productions.

This collection includes ocean, water, wet, submerge, and landscape shaders. Used in concert or independently, they can produce amazing animated bodes of water with correct reflective and refractive qualities both above and below the surface. The Landscape shader gives users unparalleled control over how their land masses are rendered from a material standpoint. In addition, Lume Tools also contains a Stain shader, which lets you use the intersection between a stain object and another object to define a new material on the non-stain object. This enables you to create wet and dry areas on a single object with ease.

Overall, Lume Tools provides you with many features that can be combined in many different ways to create thousands of realistic natural effects.
