AutoCAD and Revit extensions that get the job done, without any fuss!
Our software is used around the world by 3D modelers from all walks of life. It’s used extensively in architecture, interior design, landscape design, exhibit / stage design, furnishing / product design, and by students and faculty. If you’re modeling in SketchUp you can easily render with our software.
Create photorealistic, still, panorama, and animation image files from 3D models using raytracing and radiosity technologies. It’s fast and easy to generate high quality results – nXtRender is a great renderer at an affordable price, and works seamlessly within AutoCAD and Revit.
“The ability to alter the lighting balance using the nXt Image Editor after the image has been rendered is extremely useful.” – Peter, UK
“nXtRender for Revit is much faster than the Revit rendering engine and I like the results much better” – Jerry, PA, USA
Quick and Easy to use Whether designing for work or fun, nXtRender’s seamless integration into AutoCAD makes it quick and easy to create photo-realistic renderings that show your designs at their best.
