Photorealistic imaging for 3D Turbo

If you liked Turbo 3D... You will like its professional photorealistic imaging module, completely integrated with the modeler.

Efficiency, speed (BEAM technology), productivity... 3D XtaZ has been designed to simplify and accellerate the bothering phase of image tuning and produces high quality and very large sized photorealistic images on low end machines.

It's easy to use interface is designed around three floating windows allowing for:

Creating and Managing Textures and Materials
Managing Material Libraries
Texturing and Managing the Objects on the Stage
Creating and Managing the Lights on the Stage
Interactive Tuning of the Images
Producting Professionnal Photorealistic Images

Creating and Managing Textures and Materials

3D procedural textures, Texture mapping (scanned pictures, satellites pictures , PICT files, etc... ), multi-level combined textures.

Interactive visual editor to create and tune materials and textures. Normal and Expert levels.

Visualisation and Edition of material scripts with an embeded text editor.

Special transparent texture with black or white elimination for automatic blanking of 3D geometry with an image.(People, Vegetation, etc...)

Managing Material Libraries

With intelligent Graphic catalog

Store your textures and materials in your own libraries and manage them with the supplied tools.

Use the standard supplied Libraries for every kind of applications (Design, Architecture, Decoration, etc). These 15 libraries (260 materials) have been designed by professionals of each sector.

Use the millions of materials and wraptures supplied on Internet.

Texturing and Managing the Objects on the Stage.

with a Drag and Drop

Hierarchical objects management.

Pre-textured 3D Objects Libraries.
Interactive Drag and Drop to texture the objects on the stage.

Texturing a group of objects with Drag and Drop on the objects list.

Object selection by material.
Texture sélection with pipette from the objects on the stage.

Automatic mapping calculations, with manual adjustments on the 3D geometry.

Creating and managing the Lights on the Stage

(Spots, bubbles, sun, ambiant) directly in the scene.

Lights visible in 3D. Can be positioned with the modeling tools: translation, rotation, duplication,....

Lightening sets using layers.

Visual interactive spot cone angle and border adjustment.

Views from the lights.

Light positioning on points in the 3d model.

Light positioning by the specular glare.

Numerical positionning with immediat feedback on the light 3D geometry.

Automatic lightening.

Casted shadows quality adjustment.

Colored casted shadows and slide projectors with transparent textures (jellos and gobos).

...

Interactive image tuning

using the following special tools:

- 3 levels of image quality for ultre-fast calculations.
- Interactive texture painting on 3D objects (Ray-Painting) : same as the Photoshop paintbrush, but in 3D !!

- Interactive texture alignement on objects. (wood veins,...)

- Texture scaling, rotation, translation, modification/edition.

- Fine tuning of the Maps positions.

- Linear renderings, randoms or macro pixel renderings giving a fast preview of the image without calculating all the image.

- Monotex™ renderings : applies a single texture to all objects on the stage to ease the lightening studies.

- Single object or group of objects rendering.

- Patch rendering. Calculates a selected piece of the image at it's final resolution.

- Light positioning by its specular glare. Click in the scene where you want the specular glare to appear in the current viewpoint. a MUST for the Designers !.

Producing Professionnal Photorealistic Images

- Beam-tracing photorealistic rendering. The 3D XtaZ images are surprisingly soft and non- aggressive.

- Unequalled calculation speed with the beam-tracing technic.

- Adjustable aliasing quality.

- Rendering on screen and/or on Disk.

- Depth Z-Buffer for special effects ( Stereograms, Photoshop filters,..)

- Unlimited image size, even in small memory size : special technic to render by patches and seamless glue the patches in the disk image file. A 10000*10000 image is just an easy trick for 3D XtaZ ! Can also render only selected patches.

- Stop and later restart image calculations.

- Deferred renderings : produces editable image script files to be rendered later in a batch (during night...).

- Produces : PICT, BEAM, BMP, QuickTime.

- Project archival tool : Material and images collection and storage in libraries for project archival.
