TurboCAD® Pro provides extensive support for photorealistic rendering including a new and improved Light Works rendering engine. After adding lighting, luminances, materials and their finishes, there are several standard render modes. Draft, Quality, and Advanced.
TurboCAD includes a Render Styles Manager with preset configurations for many types of renders and includes a quick method for setting depth of field, for example, or overall luminance properties based on weather conditions including Clear Sky, Cloudy, Hazy, Overcast, Twilight Clear, Twilight Hazy, Night Full Moon, and many others.
When performing a quality render, TurboCAD has the advantage of being able to pre-calculate multiple render scene variables in order to more quickly render than typical for ray tracing. The advanced render mode includes controls for dozens of settings should you choose to use them. It is a fully-featured rendering application built directly into TurboCAD.
TurboCAD photorealistic rendering is based on the LightWorks engine from Lightwork Design, long a leader in photorealistic rendering. The rendering includes advanced ray-traced biased rendering techniques.
