Accurender

AccuRender accurately calculates shadows, transparency, diffusion, reflection, and refraction from surface properties of user-defined materials. Accurate light modeling lets AccuRender produce sophisticated effects and high-quality images. AccuRender always generates images at a 24-bit pixel depth, providing 16.7 million colors. You can save images in a variety of formats at 8-, 16-, or 24-bit pixel depths.

AccuRender is easy to use, works seamlessly inside AutoCAD Release 12 and 13, and provides a host of features that speed and simplify image rendering. With AccuRender you can:

• Watch as a rendering proceeds in five progressive steps.
• Interrupt the rendering process at any time to edit the drawing, change perspective, or change AccuRender settings.
• Render at any resolution, independent of screen resolution.
• Save images in a variety of formats including Targa (.TGA), Tag Image File Format (.TIF), Bitmap (.BMP), CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format (.GIF), and JPEG compressed (.JPG). Render an entire viewport or a selection window.
• Use a powerful antialiasing algorithm to produce smooth edges, even at low resolutions. Render large models without performance loss.

Use AccuRender’s powerful animation facility to:

• Create walk-throughs, fly-bys, and sun shadow studies.
• Create Flic or single-frame output.
