Start using Inspire Render with our interactive tutorials.
Use geometry tools to modify your objects for rendering.
An overview of the typical rendering process.
The Interactive rendering modes are display modes that render your scene in real time, so you can interactively apply materials, modify the environment, and change the camera position.
The material library contains preset materials, as well as any custom materials you've saved. Understand the material library's structure so you can more easily find materials.
Import Thea materials into the Inspire Render material library.
You can choose from a variety of preset materials. If you can't find exactly what you want, you can choose something similar and modify it. You can also reuse a custom material that you have previously saved.
Create a simple material with limited parameters.
Create a complex material composed of one or more layers with the full set of parameters. Layer types include basic, metal, glass/gem, coating, subsurface scattering, metallic flake, emitter, or shadow catcher.
Save a custom material to the library so you can reuse it later.
Organize the User material library, which contains custom materials you saved, by creating your own material packages and categories.
After applying a material with a texture to one or more objects, you can scale and position the texture.
A label is a special type of texture that allows you to layer an image over an existing material. It is useful for applying logos or bar codes to objects in your scene.
Modify the background, lighting, and shadows.
Modify an object's rendering properties such as visibility, shadows, caustics, mask index, and beveling.
Create copies of objects with a parent-child relationship. When you modify the source objects, all of the instances are updated automatically in the construction history. This is a scene creation tool that is used mainly for rendering.
Add functional objects, including furniture and interior sets, to your interactive rendering to make the scene appear photorealistic.
Produce a high-quality image of your scene.
In Inspire Render you can animate an object or group and the camera. There are two methods of animation: key frame animation and path animation.
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
