Versatile
With Thea Render you can switch between different render engines. From 'Quick 'n Dirty' to slow but accurate.
Interactive
Preview the composition, materials and lights in your scene interactively, either inside the dedicated Thea window or directly inside SketchUp view!
Advanced
Thea Render has several advanced features such as an extensive material editor, dark room for light adjustments, render channels, dispersion, depth of field and much more!
Functions
Thea Render is equipped with the following functionalities to offer you the highest level of rendering.
Viewport Rendering Thea for SketchUp interactive render mode allows you to preview the composition, materials and lights in your scene interactively, either inside the dedicated Thea window or directly inside SketchUp view in Overlay or Blending mode. With the use of Interactive Region Rendering a desired part of SketchUp view can be selected for focusing render effort. |
Advanced Materials Thea for SketchUp lets you benefit from the powerful Thea Material Editor which supports physically-based materials and layering, lighting emittance, displacement and alpha mapping. Additionally, with the use of Thea Content Browser you can have access to an increasing variety of ready-to-use high quality Thea materials and apply them easily to your models. |
External Models Thea for SketchUp provides a solution that overcomes limitations in terms of complexity of the final model. High quality external Thea models can be inserted as empty wireframe boxes inside SketchUp viewport and, in the rendered image, be translated into highly detailed originals, allowing easy population of impressively looking trees, grass, cars and more. |
Section Cuts With Thea for SketchUp you are able to render Sections, without any modification of your model. It allows you to take a “look inside” while geometry is still contributing to reflections and light bounces. This way the lighting in the model is not altered which is beneficial for illumination design. |
Animation With the use of Thea for SketchUp, any animation can be rendered as seen in the SketchUp view. This means that it supports all animation plugins that show their output directly in the view, during animation play-back along with physics animation plugins, like MSPhysics. |
