You render by punching F10 on PCs or by Document/Creative Imaging/PhotoRendering Projections. Use the Lamp Tool to set out Lamps in advance). Sun (light from the sun), Ambient (Lighter og darker 'mood' in the whole picture), Camera (Think of it as a blitz), Lamps (Stronger or weaker light from lamps.

Now you can adjust for example the size of the rendered picture, the background and the lights. Choose rendering possibilities by Document/Creative Imaging/PhotoRendering Settings. Then you find a suitable view to present your house from. Go to the Perspective 3D View by using the Shift+F3 Keys. when it is released.Īs far as I know GRAPHISOFT has worked with several other vendors in the past when they developed their renderers for ARCHICAD.My opinion is that the best way to render in ArchiCAD is to start rendering with the LightWorks Rendering Engine. 1000 bucks for Revit as for 3D Studio and Rhino, etc. That would be nice if it didn't cost any money to put it in Revit, but I suppose it will cost the same cca. Maybe VRay was jointly developed for Revit, but it will nevertheless cost money when it is officially released. CineRender in ARCHICAD has just so much more.īesides that there are of course multiple additional Renderers for both applications (which all cost additional money). Plus, it just doesn't have a lot of things CineRender has.

Maybe Autodesk Raytracer can get a decent result in a short time, but there are hardly any customization options in it in terms of rendering effects if you want to go beyond those default settings. I am not exactly sure what you are trying to say.īut if you compare the built-in Renderer in ARCHICAD (CineRender) with the built-in Renderer in Revit (Autodesk Raytracer - they have only one, too), CineRender wins hands down.

This product of Chaos Group, isn't it? But it was integrate in Revit jointly. Ps/ don't understand a bit last sentence about Vray. Unfortunately, now they will not support two renderers in AC at the same time, i think. Maybe, look to competitor's trend (Revit), maybe anything else. Don't know, what must be happen before it change. Yes, I agree that Graphisoft in collaboration with Maxon made the serios rut for a long time.
