Raylectron
The Raylectron technology...
The technology behind Raylectron, unlike others, is unique. Developed from the law of light propagation, it is able to perform faster while retaining the basic fundamental law of physics. Using many proprietary algorithms developed by SoftByte Labs over the course of many years of research, it is able to achieve photorealistic output without material setup complexity (you can not tell the difference between a photograph and the rendered output). In fact, it is so easy to use, anyone can use it. Raylectron employ three different technology, each, as easy as the other. Depending on your requirement, you can achieve photorealism in less than a minute, and for the perfectionist, you stop it when you know it's perfect!
Instancing...
Have you ever tried to duplicate a high poly tree hundreds of time? ...and gave up because Sketchup uses all your memory and is barely responding? No problem, we have a solution. Instancing of components and groups allow you to duplicate any component or group without increasing the poly count and memory usage. In fact, each instance only takes up 12 poly, no matter how many poly the original has. Create huge forest, metropolitan area, grass etc.
The following scene would normally require 5,145,528 poly, but using the Raylectron Instancing, only 34,965 poly were generated. 232 instances of a single tree of 22,179 poly. Imagine doubling or even quadrupling the number of trees? Now you can see the importance of instancing.
Ease of use...
Raylectron was designed to work within Sketchup, but, unlike others, it does not "freeze" Sketchup. That is, you can continue to work on your model while it is being rendered. Furthermore, if you need to change the camera position, change material settings, turn on/off some lights etc., you do not need to export your model. You can do all this within Raylectron, and start/stop the render without any delay occurred by re-exporting the model. Raylectron include a model viewer where you can rotate/pan/zoom just like in Sketchup.
Flexibility like no other...
While Raylectron attempts to set various settings on its own to make it easy for you, it also allow you to set everything yourself. And when we mean everything, we mean everything. Define your materials parameters and globally save them to be used again later. Save your render data and resume your render at a later date, even on another machine. Rotate, zoom and pan right from the Raylectron model viewer. Start/Stop your render without re-exporting your model, ideal for fine -tuning lights, materials and camera position. View and rotate your environment maps right in the Raylectron environment map viewer. But that's not all. You have complete control over all the settings, and the best part is, they are not complicated at all and are self explanatory. There is too much to list here however, so why not download and try it yourself?
