Gobos Master lets you infuse captivating, Real-time realistic Looping shadow effects into your scenes In a matter of seconds. It's a comprehensive library covering 13 categories of over 198 high-quality gobos to create ultra-realistic shadows in your scenes.

What is a Gobo?

A gobo (short for "goes before optics") is a stencil or template placed in front of a light source to shape the light into patterns, textures, or images, commonly used in stage lighting, photography, and architecture,

Why Use Gobos?

Below you can see two scenes: One on the left looks dull and unnatural. The other is alive, shaped by shadow (aka gobo). So, Light isn’t just for seeing—it’s for feeling. We Break it up with gobos to create contrast, and let your render speak volumes.

Speeds up Rendering

In large scenes, adding actual objects such as trees, windows, and other elements solely for the purpose of generating realistic shadows significantly increases rendering times. For instance, a scene that originally takes 60 seconds per frame to render may extend to approximately 75 seconds per frame. When dealing with 500 or 1,000 frames of animation, this results in a considerable waste of computational resources. Fortunately, Gobos Master helps reduce render times by eliminating the need for additional geometry, thereby  optimizing efficiency, adding only 1 to 2 seconds of render time on top of your scene.
