Pitch your ideas with artistic renders

Present your 3D model as an image by producing non-photorealistic renderings with Sketch Render— best suited for early project phases — using different free-hand effects, like felt tip, pencil, graphite or marker. Focus on the model, its shapes and spaces, without going into details using the White Render function.  Short on time?  White Render is perfect for communicating design intent and other aspects of the building typically discussed in the early phases for quick client feedback and coordination.

MAXON: Built-in photo-realistic rendering

Boost the look of your renderings quickly and easily with MAXON’s CineRender, built right in to Archicad.  Based on CINEMA 4D’s highly acclaimed high-end render engine, CineRender’s basic settings create quality renderings suitable for most projects. Customize the settings and advance your rendering skills to even greater heights.

Put the moves on your design

Communicate design intent and construction techniques with 3D documentation for compelling presentations. Create out-of -the box fly–through animations and construction sequence animations.
