New features for ArielVision

Good news for ArielVision users!

We have taken some of the most popular features of IRender nXt and added them to ArielVision .

Now you can make your ArielVision renderings even better.

If you purchased ArielVision within the past 12 months, you can download the latest version of ArielVision to take advantage of these features. Otherwise, you can Upgrade ArielVision to the latest version.


Indirect Lighting

Incorporate the effects of reflected light, such as the reflected cove lighting above this suspended ceiling.


Indirect Lighting refers to the IRender nXt feature of processing light reflected from mirrors and other surfaces.

This creates a realistic lighting effect which improves with each successive rendering pass. Indirect should be used with most interiors scenes to soften the lighting effects.



Self Glow

Television with 10% self-glow


Self Glow illuminates a surface as if it had light shining on it, without actually making it a light. For objects which you want to appear bright, but which don't need to illuminate other objects, this is much faster than making lights out of them.
