You can model spotlights, neon lights, lamps, or use a texture as a light source. Artificial area lighting, you can turn any material/object into emissive surface as it is in real life.What are the major features of Brighter3D? Please explain each in detail. In most cases it is temporally stable, that means when you compute an animation it does not flicker or change intensity of colors between the frames.
When you change the camera view you do not have to re-export the scene, you just open the rendering window and press the refresh button and the different camera views are rendered. Because Brighter3D is made for SketchUp, it exports scenes very fast and you start rendering almost at once. With other rendering programs, even when they support progressive rendering, you usually get a noisy image, and you need to wait hours for the noise to disappear. You get a (usable) preview in seconds and a perfect finished image in minutes. How does Brighter3D stand apart from it’s competition?ī3D uses unique noiseless progressive technology. I think it is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, CPU renderer on the market. It is completely integrated with SketchUp and works totally internally. You just set up light power as an integer value.īrighter3D is a fast and easy to use photo realistic rendering plugin for SketchUp that creates images without noise from the beginning. Brighter3D does not use Units in user interface for simplicity. You can also zoom in/out preview and pan it. Brighter3D allows you to see the object as it will appear on the final image. The problem is when you render it, it looks totally different from the preview. Other programs use box or sphere and one or two point lights. What is new about this is that it shows a live preview on real objects, with real lighting conditions.
Because of that users are not intimidated from the start, but have access for advanced settings if they need it. When you decide your material should reflect anything, additional settings are shown like roughness, fresnel and metal. For example when you open material editor you see only color settings and 3 sliders (diffuse, reflectance and transmissivity). The main idea is to hide all user interface as long as you do not need it. This happened after I saw the first iPhone presentation by Steve Jobs, I was totally shocked. My second goal was to create as simple user interface as possible.
I started to study all the existing noiseless rendering methods and eventually created my own. My idea was not to create another bi-directional path tracer, my goal was to create a correct, noiseless solution.
Even when they supported progressive rendering, the preview they created was totally unusable (there were literally holes in the images because of the noise). The one thing that especially frustrated me the most when using them was the noise. I was testing rendering plugins that existed at the time but none of them really met my expectations, so I decided to create a new one. study on realistic computer graphics, I started using SketchUp as my favourite 3D modelling program. I spend almost 9 years developing and growing Brighter3D into a really useful and easy to use rendering plugin for SketchUp. I like to think that Brighter3D is my third child (I have two daughters).
