Features

		Real-Time Rendering IMMEDIATE RESULTS WHILE CREATING Thanks to the latest advancements in real-time rendering, U-Render dramatically reduces iteration times not only during the creative process, but also during iterations and decision-making. Accelerate your workflow and remove barriers to your creativity with immediate feedback to your changes. No more waiting for a low-resolution image to slowly resolve. Switch to real-time rendering now.

Physical Based Rendering FULLY INTEGRATED INTO YOUR WORKFLOW! U-Render brings the blazingly fast real-time rendering technology from video games to your favorite DCC application. Its seamless integration eliminates the need for cumbersome data conversion and optimization.

		Convincing Materials FULL CREATIVE CONTROL OVER REALISTIC-LOOKING, PHYSICALLY-BASED MATERIALS U-Render’s physically-based lights and materials give you full creative control using only a few parameters. Materials use a unified shader that permits Materials use a unified shader that lets you choose from a wide variety of looks. Using a GGX reflectance model, you can rely on familiar parameters to adjust and tweak surface appearance. Based on established industry standards, U-Render’s material system makes it possible to use a large number of readily available material and texture libraries based on PBR principles

Non-Photo-Real (NPR) ENLARGE THE HORIZONS OF YOUR CREATIVITY WITH A DIFFERENT STYLE! The U-Render real-time Non-photorealistic Rendering (NPR) features package offers you great functions. It’s a new creative tool you can use to communicate your style. NPR materials are used for any kind of abstract style that is not forced to have PBR materials: Toon style with gradient and lines. Fast! It works in real-time. Fun! It enables you to create a wide variety of expressive styles for digital art. NPR gives you the possibility to create more stylized scenes like cartoon shading.

		Lighting THERE SHALL BE LIGHT! Discover the U-Render lighting set up! U-Render supports a range of light, falloff and shadow types to give you full control over the look of your art style. Shadow types and parameters allow fine-tuning and optimize your performance. LIGHT TYPES Choose from spotlights, point lights, infinite (directional) lights and area lights. Each light type supports different shadow and falloff types.

Shadows LET’S HAVE A LOOK AT THE DARK SIDE OF U-RENDER U-Render supports real-time shadow maps for all light types. Shadow types and parameters let you fine-tune your look and optimize performance.

		Cameras TO 360° AND BEYOND A cameraman can change the mood of a scene by changing the angle of view. Perspective, Depth of Field and a Vignette effect, just to name a few, to shift the focus from the whole scene to a specific object or person. U-Render’s cameras mimic the most important features of their real-life counterparts. From 360° spherical cameras to Chromatic Aberration you will find all the features to make your scene look realistic in real-time.

Volumetrics LIGHT IS IN THE AIR! Real-time volumetrics enables visually stunning effects like atmospheric haze, fog and participating media. Animated, procedural 3D noises and gradients give you full creative control over the appearance of volumes.

		Post-Processing Effects GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR RENDERING! When you render an image within seconds, going to a compositing tool for post-processing does not make sense! It has been integrated a range of real-time post image post-processing effects to accelerate look development and creative experimentation.
