SketchAir is available as a free download on the SiTex Graphics web site.Įngineering Software Solutions (ESS), a Hyderabad-based company, have been marketing and reselling diverse engineering software some for prestigious companies in Andhra Pradesh State for many years. SketchAir provides a simple and efficient way to render with Air from within SketchUp. SiTex Graphics has announced the first beta release of a new SketchAir plug-in for SketchUp. Finally, Air Stream 2.0 includes support for additional Maya shaders, as well as new controls for the radiosity cache and curve tapering capabilities in Air 13. Stereo rendering is now much easier: Air Stream automatically adds the extra image and camera information required for stereo rendering to the exported scene file when a stereo camera rig is detected. Air Stream now automatically handles hair or fur created with Joe Alter's Shave and a Haircut, and Shave hair and fur can be interactively shaded using TweakAir just like other scene elements. Air volume shaders can be used for global atmospheric effects. Maya fluids can now be rendered as surfaces or volumes using Air. The Air Stream 2.0 rendering plugin for Maya includes builds for Maya 2014. Air 13 includes a new curve tapering option that can be used to the fine tune the appearance of carpet fibers or other curve primitives. For cases where less detail is required, a new fake carpet surface shader traces a virtual field of fibers to produce a carpet appearance without the memory overhead of creating large numbers of curves. The carpet is created as groups of light-weight curve primitives that provide the detail needed for close viewing in a manner that is also efficient to render. A new carpet instancer shader "grows" carpet on a surface at render time based on user supplied parameters. Ambient occlusion has also been further optimized to work better in complex scenes when rendering with many processing threads.Īir 13 includes several new shaders for creating and shading carpet. Rendering with indirect bounce light can now be almost as fast as rendering with ambient occlusion.
Retexture's simple interface allows even non-technical users to experiment with different materials by, for example, dropping a texture file onto an object and seeing the image update in real time.Ī new radiosity cache for indirect diffuse illumination can greatly accelerate rendering by allowing shading results for indirect sampling to be re-used. Rexture works with "deep" images rendered by Air that include extra information that allows Retexture to recompute the final image as materials are interactively edited. Because specular highlights and reflections are treated in a consistent manner, the new shaders require fewer parameters, simplifying material setup and providing physically plausible results.Īir 13 includes a new Retexture application for interactively altering materials in an image as a post-process. The new shaders are based on new shading language functionality that allows reflections to be sampled based on a specular response function. Release 13 of Air introduces a new set of physically plausible surface shaders. SiTex Graphics releases its 2013 suite of rendering products, including version 13 of the Air renderer, version 2 of the Air Stream plugin for Maya, and a beta version of SketchAir, a new plug-in for Sketchup.
