The resulting image will be a panorama that can be viewed on a VR headset, by an external program or a web application. With Thea for SketchUp you are able to render your scene using camera with spherical projection. This means that it supports all animation plugins that show their output directly in the view, during animation play-back along with physics animation plugins, like MSPhysics. With the use of Thea for SketchUp, any animation can be rendered as seen in the SketchUp view. This way the lighting in the model is not altered which is beneficial for illumination design. It allows you to take a вЂњlook insideвЂќ while geometry is still contributing to reflections and light bounces. With Thea for SketchUp you are able to render Sections, without any modification of your model. High quality external Thea models can be inserted as empty wireframe boxes inside SketchUp viewport and, in the rendered image, be translated into highly detailed originals, allowing easy population of impressively looking trees, grass, cars and more. Thea for SketchUp provides a solution that overcomes limitations in terms of complexity of the final model. Additionally, with the use of Thea Content Browser you can have access to an increasing variety of ready-to-use high quality Thea materials and apply them easily to your models. Thea for SketchUp lets you benefit from the powerful Thea Material Editor which supports physically-based materials and layering, lighting emittance, displacement and alpha mapping. With the use of Interactive Region Rendering a desired part of SketchUp view can be selected for focusing render effort. Thea for SketchUp interactive render mode allows you to preview the composition, materials and lights in your scene interactively, either inside the dedicated Thea window or directly inside SketchUp view in Overlay or Blending mode.

Thea Render makes use of the latest NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit, which introduces support for the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. Interactive DenoisingДenoising with both IntelвЂ™s and NVIDIAвЂ™s AI denoisers is also supported during an interactive rendering session. The AI-accelerated denoiser provides noise-free images and runs on the CPU. The Intel Open Image Denoiser is now integrated inside Thea Render.

Random color is a procedural texture that can be used to add variation to your instanced models and create rich looking images for grass, bushes, trees, wooden floor and more. Every Relight setup can be saved in the Relight Editor panel as a Snap and then loaded back to the Darkroom for further editing or exported to an image file.

When Relight is enabled, every light in the scene can then be modified (intensity, color and status) and create different lighting setups in post production. Relight allows users to create infinite images from a single render. This results in images with a higher dynamic range and lighting effects that were previously impossible. Adaptive TracingДЄdaptive Tracing is a technique that solves complicated lighting scenarios, such as caustics from point lights, sun pool caustics and diffuse interreflections. Altair debuts Thea Render version 3, which bringsВ new features,В workflow enhancements and speed improvements in several areas.
