Features
-
Calculates light, shadows, materials, transparency, diffusion,
reflection, ClearFinish™, and
refraction from a surface’s properties. AccuRender’s
accurate lighting modeling produces sophisticated effects and
high-quality images.
-
Easy to use, works seamlessly inside AutoCAD, and provides a host of
features that speed and simplify image rendering.
-
Uses both raytracing and radiosity to create sophisticated
single-frame images, panoramas, and animations.
-
Assigns materials to an layer, color, or object.
-
Automatically calculates indirect light, hard and soft shadows, color
bleeding, reflections, translucency, transparency, refraction, depth
of field, and depth attenuation.
-
Produces panorama files. When viewing a panorama file, you can move
around within the rendered image.
-
Supports multiprocessors and background processing.
-
Includes realistic mathematically generated 3-D plants with seasonal
variation, giving realistic plants, shadows, and reflections.
-
Includes thousands of materials, hundreds of plants and light fixtures.
-
Works inside AutoCAD. Render changes to the model immediately. You
never need to export or start over.
