3D Object Sample
IRender nXt sample. (No lights. 4 minutes rendering time. 50 passes)
This model, downloaded from the
Google
3D Warehouse
, (Lock Machine by Jon was rendered without making any light or material settings. Using the default High Dynamic Lighting in IRender nXt it makes an excellent rendering, with subtle lighting effects with the push of a single button in IRender nXt.
Same model with reflection settings on materials. (No lights. 5 minutes rendering time. 30 passes.)
Adding some reflective materials, (by right clicking on the material, and selecting the default plastic, or metal box), creates a much more dramatic rendering - again without adding any lights.

- Section Planes
- You can use SketchUp Section Planes to cut sections through your IRender nXt model.
- IRender nXt cannot tell which section planes are enabled or disabled. Ordinarily, all section planes which are visible are used to clip the rendering.
- You can override this with:
- Visible Only
- All
- None
- Create Materials from Layer Names
- Create new Materials to match layer names, and assign them to faces in layers.
