Shade’s intuitive, easy-to-use interface and 1,700+ included 3D objects
such as furniture, building and transportation items speed up the
design and modeling process to improve workflow. Modeling is aided by
comprehensive mesh editing tools. Shade imports and exports popular CAD
formats, and incorporates raytracing and radiosity to produce superior
renderings of imported projects. Rendering times can be dramatically
reduced via distributed rendering over many machines at once.
- Architectural and Interior Design.
Architects and interior designers can build and render projects with
stunning speed and realism. Additional content is also available from
the huge library of architectural objects online and from popular CAD
programs.
- Product Design and Visualisation.
Development of award-wining product design is made easy using Shade.
Boolean or Bezier modeling and mesh editing creates the exact shapes,
with animation to preview functioning products "in motion"!
- Character Modeling and Rendering With Poser.
Link directly to Poser to easily import/export figures and poses. Poser
users can use Shade to modify models, create props or render images
with unlimited size.
Feature Highlights- Boolean and Bezier modeling, Polygon mesh modeling, Auto-smoothing of curves and more to detail projects.
- Global
Illumination renderer includes Photon Mapping, Path Tracing, Raytracing
and Radiosity-with-physics for photorealistic imagery. Callisto, the
