Vectorworks

Vectorworks Renderworks seamlessly integrates with Vectorworks, reducing the need for any external rendering application. Producing artistically styled visuals, or photorealistic style renderings, Renderworks provides everything needed for a stunning presentation. With a range of easily applied rendering technologies, including indirect lighting and high dynamic range images, Renderworks allows you to get the most from your design environment.

With Renderworks, rendering your model need not be a separate process. Choose textures as you design, add lighting and choose from a variety of rendering modes. By using an integrated rendering application, any changes to your design will automatically be reflected in your finished model - just re-render and view your presentation!

Renderworks 2011 brought a remarkable leap forward in both speed and quality, with the introduction of Maxon Computer's CINEMA 4D rendering engine. Renderworks includes a direct link to CINEMA 4D for those with a full CINEMA 4D licence, allowing you to pass the rendering process straight across to CINEMA 4D. Renderworks is a 64-bit application, meaning it is able to take full advantage of the system architecture and larger memory availability. This all increases the speed and quality!

Renderworks 2012 includes Renderworks Styles. For those who have spent hours customising their favourite render settings, Renderworks now allows those settings to saved as a Renderworks Style, so it can be dragged and dropped onto any 3D scene or viewport. A huge time saver! Artistic Renderworks now has many more options for customised line style and colour.
