Our answer for the complex needs of visualization is to provide a versatile and flexible toolset, which includes integrated rendering engines, such as Cinerender and Redshift by Maxon and connection to external tools such as Enscape, Twinmotion, NVIDIA Omniverse, and many more.
Import-export FBX
Archicad 27 adds native support for importing and exporting files in FBX format - the de facto standard for 3D file transfer to AR/VR applications.
FBX integration with Archicad lets users connect to all kind of visualization applications, ensuring a fluent and open visualization workflow and the ability to offer an immersive VR/AR experience for your clients.
Physically Based Rendering in Archicad 3D views (Experimental feature)
Physically based rendering in the Archicad 3D window delivers a much more vivid and realistic appearance while you explore the 3D model. This initial, experimental release allows you to test and explore 3D views. The feature simulates the soft shadows that naturally occur when indirect or ambient lighting is cast onto a scene.
