ArtVPS launches live 3D rendering software
ARTVPS
Shaderlight Pro
ArtVPS develops live rendering for Google Sketchup enabling users to achieve their 3D vision in less time and with minimum fuss.
ArtVPS has launched the Shaderlight software, a fully integrated plug-in that introduces interactive rendering to Google Sketchup 7 and the newly released Sketchup 8.
The full release, now available to download, features Shaderlight's progressive rendering that allows users to see their image develop on screen as they continue to work inside Sketchup.
Developed as a tool for all Sketchup modellers, Shaderlight echoes the 'simplicity first' philosophy behind Sketchup and its familiar UI and simple workflow make it easy to deliver professional results, without requiring rendering expertise.
Fully integrated in to Sketchup and Sketchup Pro, Shaderlight offers a range of features including automatic material presets, applied to the Sketchup material collection, and material finishes controlled via the Shaderlight Material Editor.
The physically based interior lighting features and advanced global illumination techniques help render realistic interiors.
Shaderlight allows users to change background setting with options for Sketchup background colour, image-based lighting environment or custom background.
The full release is available in either free or Pro version, each providing the same rendering experience just differing in lighting and resolution options.
Users can download Shaderlight now and experience all the 'Pro' features free for 14 days, after which time Shaderlight Pro is available for USD199.
