This year, Graphisoft will integrate additional capabilities of another cousin, Maxon’s Redshift rendering tool into Archicad. That work has been extended with new features in Archicad 25. With last year’s introduction of Archicad 24, Graphisoft extended the integration of its Nemetschek siblings RISA and SCIA for structural interoperability. Graphisoft is continuing to increase the usefulness of BIMcloud and BIMx. Integration is a key theme for Archicad 25. This year, the company has a lot to talk about as Graphisoft responds to user requests and expands its tools for collaboration, remote work, documentation, and visualization. Unscientifically speaking, Covid-19 has done more to drive the acceptance of cloud workflows and remote work tools within the CAD community than advertising campaigns or keynote speeches. The ability to access cloud tools has helped customers quickly move their workforce home in an emergency, but it’s a pretty good demo platform with built-in incentives to try it out.
Archicad rendering software#
Graphisoft says it was first to offer its customers free access to remote working tools including their BIMcloud SaaS service.Īs we’ve mentioned before in writing about similar deals from other design software companies, offers like these cut both ways. More important, he said the company has learned a great deal from the experience. He said he was proud of the way the company responded to the pandemic and helped their customers shift to remote work. Recognizing that 2020 was a challenging year, Roberts noted that 2020 was also Graphisoft’s most successful year ever in terms of revenue. In a short press presentation, teeing up the latest version of Archicad, CEO Huw Roberts talked a little bit about the company’s performance in 2020.
Archicad rendering registration#
It will be held September 14-16 it will be free and registration is open. Graphisoft, a company of German AECO software group Nemetschek, has unveiled Archicad 25 and has also announced that its upcoming Building Together 2021 conference will again be virtual.
Archicad rendering update#
Does anyone have any examples of nice renders produced in the Archicad Octane Plugin? Most images that I have found seem to made in Cinema 4D with Octane (looks much easier to add trees, vegetation, etc.?).Direct and to the point: new features in Archicad 25 The latest update to Archicad from Graphisoft includes enhancements for visualization, 2D–3D workflows, details, and ease of use.

setup correctly) then just copy objects to project file as needed? Would the correct way to make the plugin rendering setup drag and drop (as close as say twinmotion/lumion style as possible) be to start an Archicad 'asset library' file with all assets (trees, rocks, grass etc.) lined up attached to objects as proxies (and all materials, texture etc.

See attached two images, one of an orbx tree in standalone Vs the same tree as a proxy in Archicad plugin same material, lighting settings (even adjusting lighting), and the tree looks terrible in the Archicad version. Big thanks to the developer/s of this plugin, it is great, and am loving the Octane engine.Ī few questions as I try to set this up to work efficiently:
