Built-in Sketch Render
Present your 3D model as an image by producing non-photorealistic renderings with Sketch Render— best suited for early project phases — using different free-hand effects, like felt tip, pencil, graphite, or marker.
Built-in White Render
Focus on the model, its shapes and spaces, without going into details using the White Render function. Short on time? White Render is perfect for communicating design intent and other aspects of the building typically discussed in the early phases for quick client feedback and coordination.
