VRED Professional Module Overview

Ambient Occlusion gives scenes a higher level of realism due to a close to reality shading of other objects and the self-occlusion of single parts, even in OpenGL-Mode.

The Animation Module helps to simulate motion sequences and produce moving images. Animations can be created in real time and in full render quality.

With the Annotation Tool, notes can be attached to all components of a scene.

VRED Professional supports loading of Measured Materials. Measured Materials are digitalized in a special process and are capable of displaying highly complex structures according to their real-world behavior.

The CAD Converter realizes the import of many data formats. It is able to convert NURBS data into polygonal data and to tessellate imported data seamlessly.

The camera module is the “eye” to three-dimensional space. It offers real setting parameters like focal length, shutter speed, f-stop or depth of field.

The Clipping Module helps to evaluate 3D models by creating cross-sections of geometries without manipulating the geometry itself.

Clustering allows controlling computer cluster. A number of render modes helps to increase efficiency, which is useful for CAVE or powerwall installations.

Direct NURBS Raytracing enables you to display and evaluate construction data directly and untesselated.

With the GeometryEditor, data sets can be prepared with several tools, such as for adjusting surface normals.

Using HDR-lighting, the whole scene is lit up by a high dynamic range picture. This way it is possible to project the lighting situation of a real picture onto 3D space.

VRED Professional supports the use of many color profiles, such as ICC color profiles to ensure an accurate color workflow in production pipelines.

VRED Professional offers different lighting models such as direct lights, spot lights, point lights and area lights.

All materials in a scene can be animated individually to display different views of a model.

The MaterialLibrary is integrated into the software. It can be extended anytime with additional libraries. Furthermore existing libraries can be exported or made accessible in a network.

VRED Professional is provided with a wide range of pre-categorized material types, such as glass, paint or metal. Geometries can be visualized photorealistic within seconds.

With the Measurement Module, models and scenes can be evaluated using special measurement tools.

With NPR-Rendering it is possible to produce schematic drawings for further use in manuals or the like.

The Optimize Module allows optimizing the structure of a dataset, such as deleting redundant nodes or restructuring single polygons in order to accelerate the render process.

For postprocessing it is possible to individually adjust different parameters like color shift, brightness, contrast or saturation.

Almost all functions in VRED Professional can be controlled via scripts. You can also implement individual applications without any problems.

Renderfilter influence the antialiasing while rendering. All current pixel-filter-algorithms are available.

The RenderLayer Module helps to divide scenes in single renderlayer while rendering. That way you can easily create the perfect basis for post processing.

VRED Professional includes a wide range of render modes for OpenGL and raytracing which deliver different levels of display quality and speed.

In addition to classic beauty pictures, VRED Professional also supports the export of all needed render passes to allow high quality post production.

The Sequencer helps to organize and sequentially execute complex batch processes.

VRED Professional supports to access all common stereo devices and also allows presentations for active- and passive stereo devices.

The Heat Simulation Module helps to test a material’s behaviour exposed to direct sunlight.

With the TexturingEditor it is possible to easily assign textures to components of a scene.

With the TouchSensor Module it is possible to initiate predefined actions in a scene via previously specified hotspots.

All objects of a scene can be transformed, rotated, sheared or the like using the Transform Module.

Components, assigned materials and more can be summarized and stored in variants.

Several variants can be combined in VariantSets to enable a quick visualization of different variants of a scene.

The VRendeR distributes a number of render jobs to different computers.

The integrated webserver allows to integrate data sets in external offline applications.
