Slaves do not send any data back as it renders, instead, the data is sent when you request to update the View port on the master. It is also possible to install Raylectron on remote computers (even on the Internet) and use them as slaves. Raylectron utilize all the CPU cores and threads (user selectable) to render as fast as possible. Caustics are also real, not fake or simulated. The sun, the sky, environment maps and any materials set as a light source (emitter) with settings for the power and coverage angle.Īny material can produce different effects, such as reflection (like mirror), refraction (like glass), transparency, glossiness, shininess, bump maps, normal maps and background images.

Depending on the scene being rendered, one can use Raytrace with true shadows, Path tracing with or without direct illumination and Photon mapping. So, is this the next best solution for your needs? We managed to gently interfere with Jack Martin’s busy schedule (Business Manager for SoftByte Labs) and squeezed a few answers out of him.Raylectron is a Sketchup plugin designed to help produce photorealistic renders. There is a Fix Reversed Face Material tool in its arsenal. All rendering processes happen outside of SketchUp in order to allow continuous work on the model being rendered.Ĩ. It supports HDR maps and can save the rendered image as an HDR, it can also save in jpg, png and many other formats.Ħ.

A nice little extra – Render Stereo Vision (also called stereopsis or 3-D imaging).ĥ. There is no need to remove walls to see the interior render, simply use the X-Ray vision.Ĥ. You can rotate, pan, zoom, modify the materials and lights right from the Raylectron viewer.ģ. Has the ability to stop the render, save it, reopen it later and resume the render.Ģ. So what does make it different from the rest?ġ. It will change your 3D design into a realistic image, it does not need any editing by other graphic software (such as Photoshop) to produce photorealistic renders.” All this and it seems to suit everyone…can this be true? Its list of unique features certainly look pretty impressive. The spiel is “Affordable, easy, fast and a powerful SketchUp render plug-in. “Raylectron – produce photorealistic renders without using anything else”….that’s what they say! Well, lets get some background first.
