Render[in]

What is Render[in]?
Render[in] is a fully-integrated, real-time radiosity rendering engine developed for SketchUp Free and Pro. Render[in] is fast, easy to use, and works with all the same SketchUp settings, like geometry, camera, sun, colors, textures, etc. You don’t need to change a thing – just render your project! You can also add your own specific settings like specular reflection, point lights, spotlights, and 3D sky and clouds.

Render[in] Features

Real-time Preview
Render[in], a powerful, fully-integrated rendering engine developed for SketchUp, offers real-time preview for ‘what you see is what you get’ results. The Render[in] preview window follows your movements and makes every change you want – every step of the way.

With Render[in] you can:
• quickly create a high definition rendering with no size limitation
• use existing SketchUp parameters and add new ones
• create a photo-realistic project environment (water, sand, grass) and a 3D sky with clouds
• create artificial light sources
see the final result in a real-time radiosity preview window

Fully-integrated
Because you already know your preferred modeler as well as you do, Render[in] uses the same SketchUp settings, to make learning how to create high-definition renderings fast and easy. Once your model is ready, Render[in] will bring your designs to life, by offering realistic additions like a 3D sky, four types of clouds, and modifiable lighting sources.

Render[in] uses:
• SketchUp textures and materials
• SketchUp sun positions and shadows
• SketchUp ground and background
• SketchUp camera positions
• SketchUp project location

Improved textures
Render[in] gives you even more texture settings to choose from, like specular reflection and shininess, and auto-bump for materials. Render[in] gives you the high-definition, realistic renderings you’ve been looking for, in a powerful, easy-to-use application.

With Render[in], you can:
• add reflection and shininess to the materials in your scenes
• add auto-bump to your materials for realistic textures

Enhanced 3D environment
Render[in] offers additional environment settings in addition to those already available in SketchUp. With features like 3D sky, four types of clouds, sand, water, and grass, it’s easy to create realistic environment for your scenes. All changes to your scene are updated automatically in the preview window.

With Render[in], you can:
• create a realistic, 3D sky
• add four types of mix and match clouds
• add pre-defined ground textures, like sand, water, and grass

Artificial lighting
Lighting is key to setting the mood for your scenes. With Render[in], you can create and change the lighting in your rendered scenes easily and quickly, and see the changes automatically in the real-time preview window.

With Render[in], you can:
• simulate sun and sky lighting
• simulate night and day
• create 3D lighting objects
• create smooth shadows

Render[in] 2: New Features

Import Background Image
With Render[in] 2, users can import a background image for scenes. This new function makes it possible to insert the model in its real site and thus, show it in its future environment.

Export to Artlantis 4
Render[in] 2 offers users the power of Artlantis, allowing them to export their work from Render[in] 2 to Artlantis. Users can quickly and easily complete presentations in the fully-adapted Artlantis environment.

Neon
Colors applied to surfaces can be turned into light sources. In Render[in] 2, users can easily adjust the power and the color of lights.

Bump Map
Render[in] 2 allows users to apply an independent bump map to simulate an optional relief of surfaces.

iVisit 3D
Developed especially for architects and designers, iVisit 3D is an innovative, easy-to-use, 3D presentation tool that allows users to view and share panoramas on a web page with a Flash™ player or an iPad or iPhone.
