Multi Scene Wizard
|
Now you can select multiple scenes in your SketchUp model to render in a batch, instead of having to start each rendering individually. This way you can select multiple scenes and render overnight and have them all rendered and saved into image files when you come into the office in the morning. In IRender nXt and 3D Design Studio you can configure and manage all rending setup values, such as, rendered image size, light settings and rendered passes for each scene.

Make Bulb Invisible
|
You can now select to make a light bulb invisible, but have all the lighting and reflections from that light source visible. This supports some pretty creative lighting techniques for designers and artists to create just the right effect in their rendering.

Filter Material Selection
|
Quickly find materials by filtering on the name or attribute. You can filter by Edited, Illuminated, Reflective, Self Glow or Transparent.

Load Ground Plane Materials
|
Now you can load a material to the ground plane. This is a great way to quickly add grass, rocks, water or other landscaping material to your model. You can also adjust the materials color, texture, etc just like any other material to create the effects you want.
Select a material from all of the available materials.

Material WizardExpand from 9 to 20 Material Presets

Upgraded from 9 material reflection presets to 20. This enhancement makes it even easier to quickly adjust the material to look like plastic, wood varish, to water. You can use the preset directly or as a starting point and fine tune the settings to create the presentation you want.
