Add RenderWorks to Create
Spectacular 3D Presentations
RenderWorks
seamlessly integrates into VectorWorks to provide you with
sophisticated photorealistic and hand-rendered effects. Whatever your
objective-realistic or artistic-you can create stunning presentations
to help you sell your ideas.
Create Realistic Renderings
- Interactive OpenGL rendering supports textures, shadows, backgrounds, and
allows real-time flyovers and walkthroughs.
- For
photo-realistic rendering choose between Radiosity and Ray Traced rendering.
Both come with options for Final Gather, anti-aliasing, realistic lighting
behavior and shadows. Shadow option allows you to add hard or soft shadows to
your scenes.
- Show your
models on the real-world environments by incorporating photos as backgrounds or
choose one of the default color, sky/cloud, or HDRI backgrounds. For drama, add atmospheric effects such as
snow, fog, and lit fog to your backgrounds.
- Show
shafts or beams of light with volumetric lighting. Options allow you to control
the density and atmospheric effect.
Create Non-Photorealistic (Artistic)
Renderings
Artistic
rendering mode allows you to soften hard lines and reproduce many hand-sketched
styles, including cartoon, color wash, contour, tapered lines, hatch, ink
print, lines and shadows, mosaic, oil painting, overlapping lines, soft lines
and stipple. They are perfect when you're just trying to convey concepts and
give clients a sense for the space.
Take Textures to a New Level
- Access a
vast library of image-based textures and pre-defined shaders out of the
box. Or, create custom textures from
file formats, such as TIF, JPG, GIF and BMP. For added realism add reflection,
transparency and bump effects.
- Turn any
color into a texture or, depending on what VectorWorks product you have, you
can easily convert VectorWorks Pantone®, Benjamin Moore®,
Sherwin-Williams®, Resene®, or Rosco® color
palettes into texture libraries.
- Turn any
photo into a 3D image prop or access the free image prop library that ships
with RenderWorks.
- It's easy
to apply and edit textures in real time. Interactively position, resize and
rotate textures directly on the surface of 3D objects.
Sun Studies and VR
- Accurately
create sun studies and solar animation by defining a directional light at a specific latitude, longitude, date and time.
- RenderWorks provides Macintosh® and Windows®support for
QuickTime® VR.
Light and Cameras
- In addition to the direction, spot,
and point lights found in VectorWorks, RenderWorks adds line and area lights.
Area and line lights add another level of realism to your rendered scenes,
allowing you to transform objects into light sources. They're great for
producing soft, glowing lighting effects such as neon tube lighting,
fluorescent light boxes, lit windows or skylights.
- Physical
lighting attributes allow you to define a light object with real-world
photometric properties as well as by importing load distribution files provided
by lighting manufacturers.
- Quickly
light scenes and add environments by adding HDRI backgrounds.
- Cameras make it easy to set and
edit 3D views. Perspective View controls let you set the camera's height, the
look-to-height, move the camera left/right as well as pan, adjust the focal
length (zoom), change the aspect ratio and clip frame size.
- A handy
Visualization palette provides a one-stop interface for managing lights and
cameras in the model.
Added Import Export Options
- Export
EPix/Paranesi option.
- Export
QuickTime® Panorama and Object VR movies.
- Export
High
Dynamic
Range
Image (HDRI).
