    Create high-definition renderings that offer accurate lighting control by using the global illumination lighting feature. This advanced feature is able to reflect light off of surfaces and depict how the environment would look at certain times of day based on sun orientation.

  • Reflections

    Show true and realistic reflections off of mirrors, floors, walls, windows and other surfaces.

  • Sound Library

    Use this library to create an array of sounds that automatically adjust with camera pitch and angle. Give your clients a video rendering complete with thunder, rain, snow, fire and crowd noise, just to name a few of the options available.
