Beta testers wanted - nXtRender Basic

Al Hart

We have created a Beta Test version of a new low-cost, integrated renderer for SketchUp, nXtRender Basic.

Using a simple dialog to set glow and reflection properties for materials, and uses the same nXt rendering engine as our full, pro version, nXtRender Basic produces high quality renderings with a very easy to use user interface and at a fraction of the cost.

Download a copy from: Downloads
(Download the Beta Test version of IRender - nXtRender is contained inside of it)

Read more about it at: nXtRender Basic

And let me know what you think.

(Please try to be kind. I suspect the first few people to try to download might have a problem. If so, let me know and we will try to fix it up)

Thanks for helping us with the early testing of this product.

The first version of nXtRender, the new low cost rendering solution has been uploaded.

I gotta say I really enjoyed playing with Irender (during the extended trial due to competition) unfortunately times are tough which has restricted me from purchasing the full version, but will encourage everyone to give it a whirl if you are deciding on a render solution as Irender NXT is a very easy solution with some fantastic bells and whistles included, capable of amazing results.
I must say I miss the animation tools the most.

As part of the new release, everyone gets a new 30-day trial of both nXtRender and IRender nXt (download the nXtRender download, and you can choose either program durin gthe trial period).

We stopped using hformabout 2 years ago. I am running a search to make sure it is not still being used somewhere

When I noticed that it was still being called by the download page.

Try again, (click refresh on the downloads page first), and let me know if it works better.

Unfortunately, animation is one of the things we left out of the low end version.

But people can try the full version out during the trial period, and if they like it enough perhaps they can find a way to purchase the full version. (We also lowered the price of the full version a bit on hopes that even more people will come to appreciate the nXt rendering engine.

Hi Al!
I trying the beta version and it working good for me!
But trouble is setting render image size!?
If i check sketchup size, it making only 25x25 picture?(after rendering)

We just spotted that this morning. The small, medium and large settings should work, and also the custom setting (if you turn off match SketchUp aspect ratio).

It is a dumb little bug, and we should be able to post a new version today.

Let me know anything else you find.

[edit] I just checked and Rich has upload the new version, but has not posted it to the downloads page yet. Look for version IF13 (rather than IF12) when it is ready.

Hi Al!

I am trying IF13 this morning about 20 times and not find bugs yet!
I think it very good for beginners,easy to use making mirror and lighting!

Hi Al!(idea)
Is it a big job to adding one more button to toolbar?

And properties looks like this:

What you think?

That looks pretty slick.

We'll see about adding it.

We have a similar dialog in IRender nXt:

I meant that "since we had a similar dialog already it would be easy to write one for the low end product"
