Enhanced rendering powered by Luxion Keyshot

Hi Mark

In Creo 3 is Realtime render, Photorender (Essentials packages) and Photolux (Advanced Render Extension).

Could you explain what happend with Photorender and ARX?

Thank you

Hi Radovan,

In Creo 4.0, we replaced the traditional Photorender capabilities with our 'Shade with Reflection' capability.  This was enhanced in the previous few releases to be equal or better then the legacy Photorender.  Another benefit was you did not have to process the rendering to see the results.  With the shade with reflection enabled, you can dynamically rotate your model while in the enhanced realism mode.  For this reason, we have removed the traditional Photorender and thus the Render tab and placed the content in the View tab.  Specifically, the Appearances and Perspective modes.  Now you can easily assign materials, change scenes and see the results immediately while in Shade with Reflection mode.

As for ARX, in Creo 4.0, we replaced the advanced engine from Mental Ray to Keyshot.  This will be available under a new application called Real-Time Rendering in the applications tab.  Those active on MNT of ARX, will get access to the new license when Creo 4.0 is released.  The new ARX will provide real-time ray tracing and high quality rendering that people have come to expect from Keyshot.  Working directly in Creo, users can quickly generate high quality renderings without needing to wait for the rendering to be processed.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Mark
