A More Engaging User Experience

The combination of LumenRT’s vivid output and rich navigation capabilities allow your clients and co-workers to experience and interact with designs in a much more immersive and exciting manner. LumenRT creates very high-fidelity output complete with accurately simulated lighting, shadows, and reflections.

This output can be navigated interactively in a self guided fashion using either the game-like, walk-though mode, or explored using a 3D style orbit mode similar to how programs like Sketchup operate. In addition, LumenRT LiveCubes can employ animation paths which allow you to direct and present the viewing experience in a predictable, predefined manner. The animation mode is also useful for self-running, kiosk style presentations.

New in LumenRT 2:

• Standard quality mode generates a fast lighting approximation with global illumination!
• Accelerated processing of scenes with improved visual feedback!
• Export SketchUp time lapse animations!
• LumenRT material editor lets you adjust materials directly inside SketchUp!
• State-of-the-art DirectX 9 or 10 and OpenGL real-time engine offers super-fast GPU performance!
• Dynamically adjustable time of day with realistic lighting.
• Physically accurate rendering of reflections!
• Sunlight casts soft shadows for superb lighting effects.
• Shadow softness realistically depends on distance to the shadow casting object.
• Lighting context affects shadow softness (e.g. shadows are smoother when weather is bad or sun is setting).
• Highly realistic underwater shaders with water turbidity!
• Reflective material surfaces (mirrors, etc)!
• Create animations of unlimited length.
• High quality anti-aliasing avoids any unwanted jaggies in your pictures!
• Professionnal motion blurring for ultra-smooth animations!
• Low quality real-time rendering mode for slower boards!
