Time Consumption

 

The previous rendering method took lots of time in Radiosity. Massive sync-data was needed, resulting in low efficiency of multicore CPUs. Meanwhile, cloud render was not available either.

 

 

The latest method takes most of the time in Raytrace. Multicore CPUs work independently without synchronizing data. Cloud rendering is available.

 

 

More Improvements

• No model shape limitation, decreasing modeling difficulty.
• Correctly render complicated surfaces.
• No need to optimize model, decreasing memory consumption thus increasing Raytrace speed.
• Natural anti-alias.
• Accumulative Raytrace. Faster preview. Easy to control your render time and outcome.

Network Render

With the accumulative feature of photon map raytrace, network rendering is adopted to significantly improve rendering speed.

 

 

 

Smart Light 

 

Smart light function will automatically generate lights set by camera angle and scene type. Non-professional users will benefit from it in saving time during light settings and minimizing errors caused by inappropriate lighting arrangement. Thus, rendering quality will be improved.

 

 

 

Model Optimization

Optimize model function would significantly decrease the surfaces of a model while keeping its original appearance.

 

 

Clone Object

 

The Clone Object is a new function to allow users to copy a previous design over to a new object.

 

 

Camera Edit

 

With visible and integrated camera edit function, it can’t be easier manipulating and editing views in the work area.

 

 

 Ceramic Design

 

With simple mouse click, users can easily make various tiling design, visualize it real time in 3D, and modify anytime according to customers' requirements.

 

 

 Online Cloud Library

 

iModel, the online cloud library is another innovative function in InteriCAD T5. Users can order 3D models by submitting photos and dimensions of furniture, decorative items, etc. Once constructed, vivid 3D models will be streamed back to the user's InteriCAD T5 Library.
