IRender nXt - ready for Beta Test

Al Hart

The new, powerful and exciting rendering engine - nXt - is ready for you to test in IRender nXt.

In addition to numerous, powerful new features and improvements, nXt has two major features which are worth special note:

1. Lighting Presets

By using HDRI lighting models, IRender nXt can produce very good renderings without adding any lights to your model.

This model from the 3D warehouse was rendered using the nXt Studio lighting defaults in just 5 minutes.

The materials in the 3D Warehouse model were marked as reflective, but the lighting effects were created from the default lighting.

(Model from: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=df511edf1ad43619de1171f185fa544c&hl=en Lock Machine by Jon)

See: http://wiki.renderplus.com/index.php?title=IRender_nXt_Samples for more examples.

2. Indirect Lighting

The nXt engine automatically incorporates the effects of indirect lighting without the need for Radiosity or other special processing.

This model was rendered with the HDRI illumination and indirect lighting.

(This was rendered with 50 lighting passes in 20 minutes)

Yeah, me 2! I'm waiting for the email though so I can download - seems to take a while for some reason!...I thought it would be faster, I'm anxious to check out the interior renderings with the HD lighting calcs...SU is my main modeler and a decent rendering solution will make SU a KILLER app for sure - hope this one knocks it out of the park where others have failed!!
