Rendering creates images from 3D scenes like taking photos. Scene placement and camera settings are crucial for quality rendering
Shaders calculate light, darkness, and color in 3D scene rendering. Most shaders run on graphics processing units (GPUs). Term introduced by Pixar in 1988 with RenderMan Interface Specification
IR automatically updates rendered images in real time with scene changes. Runs completely on CPU without limitations. Produces same effects as regular rendering with different settings
Cinema 4D is a professional 3D modeling and rendering software. Render engines create 3D images using models and textures. There are both real-time and non-real-time rendering options
Archicad's integrated engine produces unrealistic results and is slow. AI Visualizer tool has limited accuracy and realism
Calculator helps estimate rendering time for animation projects. Assists in determining machine requirements and deadline completion. Provides maximum render time per frame for deadline
