All the power of real-time 3D
Designed for ArchiTECH.PC — and also available as a standalone version — APCRender+ is EDICAD’s imaging software for photorealistic rendering, combining the power of real-time 3D with exceptional ease of use. Showcasing and enhancing your projects has never been so easy.
Simplicity and efficiency
APCRender+ integrates seamlessly and intuitively into your project creation process with a quick, user-focused workflow centered on your role as a designer: assembling on-screen the colors, materials, lighting, and viewpoints that best showcase the spaces and volumes you’ve created.
ACCURATE SIMULATION
Specify your project’s location, date, and time to adjust sunlight, then control wind speed and cloud appearance, and your project is instantly placed in a real-world setting.
REAL-TIME 3D
The new 3D engine supports the simultaneous rendering of a large number of polygons, high-definition textures, lights and cast shadows, as well as real-time editing and movement of 3D objects and the camera.
EXTENSIVE LIBRARIES OF MATERIALS AND 3D OBJECTS
Hundreds of high-definition textures (with material effects such as gloss, bump, and grain…) and configurable 3D objects make up the APCRender+ libraries. The software also allows you to import your own 3D objects and create custom materials from your textures.
TRIPLANAR MATERIALS
This feature makes it easy to apply materials to complex surfaces such as curved walls with simple drag-and-drop.
PROJECT IMPORT
Import your projects directly from ArchiTECH.PC or from other software in 3DS, OBJ, FBX, and DAE formats.
VIRTUAL TOURS
Connected to an Oculus VR headset, APCRender+ lets you and your clients experience an unprecedented level of 3D immersion in your projects. Thanks to virtual reality, the way you design your projects and persuade your clients will change dramatically.
INSERTIONS INTO THE SITE
Create highly accurate photomontages of projects integrated into their environment using just a few reference points taken from the photos provided for this purpose.
INSTANT IMAGE RENDERING
Stop wasting time rendering preview images and then final images: what you see on screen looks like reality. The Save Image command works like a camera shutter: click, and it’s saved.
VIDEOS
Control the camera movements in your projects according to the desired timeline, and create stunning promotional video sequences.
SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN ArchiTECH.PC & APCRender+
Avoid the tedious process of exporting and importing projects from ArchiTECH.PC to APCRender+ by letting them communicate directly: any change made to your project in ArchiTECH.PC is automatically updated in the APCRender+ scene, including texture libraries.
Who is APCRender+ for?
APCRender+ is a 3D rendering software designed for designers for whom producing a high-quality image of a project is just as important for their clients as its technical aspects—without having to spend an excessive amount of time doing so.
