Case Study:

Interior Commercial (Stage Design)

“Particularly for stage design, the renderings are extremely helpful for the installation crew to use as a reference during construction.  Client’s love seeing the designs and find it helpful to visualize the completed spaces for their events. The realistic lighting effects give a true representation of the final installation.”

Detailed Feature List

More details, uses, and features for IRender nXt

Create your model with SketchUp, then render it with IRender nXt.  Easy to learn and use, you’ll be up and running in no time.  There’s a full range of features that you will discover as you gain experience and want to extend your rendering skill.  Some of the key properties in creating great renderings is lighting, shadows, and reflections.  We make this easy through one click material presets, drop in lighting, and you can even adjust the lighting without rendering the model again.

  • Compatible with all versions of SketchUp
  • Simple to add materials library and one-click presets
  • Lighting components to just drop in and render
  • Multiple lighting channels – even adjust color and brightness after rendering is complete
  • Support HDR images for simple realistic lighting and backgrounds
  • Render amazing images and panoramas
  • Add or create 2D/3D Plants for realism and fast rendering
  • Create animations with a simple setup wizard

Choose from 5,000 standard materials or create your own. The Materials Wizard provides multiple controls for a single material, including transparency, index of refraction for glass materials, and more. Use bump maps to give a material (with or without textures) a different appearance.

  • Auto Reflections to SketchUp materials – You can select auto reflections to automatically add reflection settings to SketchUp materials; you can even easily customize
  • Material Wizard
  • Quick Presets – plastic, mirror, glass, water, etc

  • Realistic textures with bump maps to create realistic bricks, blocks, roofs, water, and more
  • Water materials from smooth to rough and shallow to deep
  • Grass and texture wizard

Lighting in 3D rendering can make all of the difference in creating realist renderings.  This is why we focus a realist lighting anyone can create.  You can use our drag and drop lights, lighting presets, or quickly make your own custom lights.

  • Drag and drop, render ready interior and exterior lights, which are ready for you to set brightness, color, and lighting channel
  • Ceiling light to lamps light wizard to walk you through light creation
  • Lighting rendering presets for studio, interior, exterior and more
  • HDR images provide quick drop in high quality lighting setup and background scenes
  • Stop re-rendering for lighting changes!  Our rendering software allows you to change lighting color, intensity, and even on or off for quick changes after rendering.

In addition to stunning, high quality rendered stills, IRender nXt also provides tools to render panoramas and animations. While your clients will love your renderings, watch their faces when you show them an animated walk-through or panorama.

  • Animations – Create a high-quality animation of a SketchUp model with IRender nXt! Quickly setup your animation by creating the scenes to be included, define frames per second and image size, then render the resulting frames. Once frame rendering is complete you can simply create the movie!
  • Panoramas – Create a full 360 degree panoramic image which can be turned into a movie and embedded in a web page. A panoramic image is created by rotating the camera while rendering to create a full 360 x 360 degree image. Panoramas work best with large interiors, or with exteriors which have a central point which lets you view the full model.

The IRender nXt Image Editor enables you to easily make changes to an image after rendering is complete without having to re-render or use third party software.

Use the tools available via the Image Editor toolbar:

  • Lighting Channels – Adjust the effect of sun, sky or groups of lights.
  • Lighting Adjustments – Control image contrast, burn, color saturation and brightness.
  • Material Channels – Adjust the color or luminance of pixels rendered.
  • Image Filters – Choose from a range of filters to apply a dramatic new look.
  • Haze and Fog – Apply Real Time Haze or fog.
  • Depth Blur – Adjust the near or far focus of your image.
