Software available directly inside Vectorworks, with support for other CAD and BIM tools to follow
Maxon, the developer of Cinema 4D, is aiming to put its rendering technology into the hands of more architects and designers with a new ‘real-time’ visualisation plug-in for Vectorworks.
“We’re giving architects a powerful yet intuitive tool that elevates their work visually, without adding complexity, so their designs can be expressed as intended with clarity and emotion,” said David McGavran, CEO of Maxon.
Users of the new rendering solution will get access to ‘intuitive controls’ seamlessly integrated within the Vectorworks BIM environment, along with smart asset libraries.
Architects and designers will then be able to move from real-time previews to final renders with ‘seamless’ export to Cinema 4D and GPU renderer, Redshift.
According to Maxon, this will allow them to create more advanced architectural visualisations, including procedural animations and simulations.
“Our new partnership with Maxon addresses a significant challenge faced by AEC professionals: the need for a real-time rendering solution that seamlessly integrates with Vectorworks and evolves alongside it,” said Vectorworks senior director of rendering, Dave Donley.
“By developing this integration with direct input from our users and ensuring feature parity for both Mac and Windows from the outset, we are providing our customers with a reliable and future-ready solution.
