Rendering , rendering with ray-tracing

ARCHline.XP® enables for customers to create photorealistic images by incorporating ultimate rendering technology. ARCHline.XP® is using LightWorks Rendering Engine made by LightWork Design the world's leading supplier of rendering solutions. The Add-on enables the definition and rendering of physically accurate materials such as glass, mirrors, and polished or reflective surfaces. Ray Tracing includes the innovative LightWorks hybrid ray tracing engine, that gives users increased performance over other rendering engines.

The rendering engine also supports advanced visual features including coloured shadows from semi-transparent materials such as stained glass. Provides physically accurate lighting and effects for advanced visual quality and realism. The sunlight parameters allow positioning using latitude, longitude and time-of-day for accurate shadow studies. Animation, virtual reality and shadow analysis are also available by the internal rendering engine.

The program includes wide collection of materials classified in categories. New materials can be created by the architect using the material samples of producers. Materials in the same category can imported to the material library by drag and drop method in one step.

RPC (Rich Photorealistic Content) from ArchVision help users to demonstrate their designs to clients, by giving them the power to add photorealistic RPC people, trees as well as other RPC objects, that are viewable from different angles and can be animated.

"The great advantage of the internal rendering, that it has directly feedback for 3D solid modeller material (body/surface)-lights-, and architectural design tools material input. You can edit the changes directly, there is no use some steps using other image software. You can archive the material and light settings inside the program, so it can use later in other projects. We have to look the scene, as a painter, if we like to create a good appearance. By creating the composition we have to pay attention the set lights-surfaces correlate with mirroring. Originally we have to pay the most attention and time for these harmonious coordination."
