Renditioner Pro MAC

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 12:30:46 -0500

Professional Rendering for Google SketchUp
Renditioner Pro enables you to easily produce stunning photorealistic renderings of your Google SketchUp models. Renditioner Pro is the advanced version of Renditioner with more powerful capabilities, and print quality results. Launch directly from SketchUp and your model is automatically loaded. Then simply setup the model for rendering with intuitive drag and drop, lighting, material, camera and environment controls. Professional rendering controls such as Progressive and Sub-Image rendering allow you to quickly test and visualize many different rendering scene variations of your design. Multi-threaded rendering will speed the regeneration time as fast as your system can go.

“High Definition” Rendering
Renditioner Pro supports renderings up to 16 mega-pixels, for high quality results even with larger print sizes. You also have complete flexibility in the render dimensions, so can easily create Portrait or Landscape images. Speed rendering with progressive rendering and produce higher material quality for more photorealistic renders with material blurring.

Sub-Image Rendering
Save time by rendering only a selected area of your overall image with the Sub-Image Rendering tool. This is a powerful tool to examine and refine selected detailed areas of your model before committing to a full rendering of the entire model view. It’s more efficient and faster way of rendering of just the area of the image you want.

High Performance Cameras and Lighting using HDR
High Dynamic Range (HDR) provides a greater range of tonal and contrast detail than ever before. This opens up a whole new set of lighting possibilities with additional realism that can be a game changer in terms of new rendering capabilities that go beyond just ray-tracing effects. Use the Camera controls to set your View, examine and move around your model, and select the distance to the rendered object or scene with different camera lenses. You can also set the aspect ratio and up vector for a more accurate preview of how your render will be oriented, and create a simple turntable animation! Lighting controls include drag and drop lighting settings for Interior, Exterior, Studio and Ambient lighting, and slider based controls for Sun position and rotation of the Environment. The result of these powerful and professional controls is incredibly realistic rendering results with far less effort and learning curve.
Extensive Libraries of Content
We’ve got you covered. Renditioner Pro offers a well organized library of over 150 materials, 72 finishes, 50, 2D and 3D bump maps, and 27, 2D and 3D backgrounds, all of which are easily applied by simply dragging and dropping them onto your model. You can also access additional content through the LightWorks’ Aspects Digital Asset Library.

High Quality Rendering for Google SketchUp
Renditioner enables you to produces stunning photorealistic renderings of your Google SketchUp models. It generates images up to 1 mega-pixel, producing high quality images for displaying online. (For print quality renders, see Renditioner Pro) This powerful yet easy to use plug-in automatically loads your model when launched directly from SketchUp. You then simply drag and drop materials, finishes, bump maps and backgrounds onto your model. Access high performance camera controls and HDR-based lighting controls to make more realistic-looking renders. Even take SnapShots of render configurations to replay your scenes. Speed rendering with progressive rendering and produce higher material quality for more photorealistic renders with material blurring. Plus, multi-threaded rendering speeds the generation time as fast as your system can go.

Easy User Interface with Tutorials Included
Effortlessly manipulate your SketchUp model with professional image controls that are intuitively organized into brief menus for easy access. Applying attributes are as simple as drag and drop, and once added, Renditioner Pro allows you to take snapshots of particular configurations to save for later giving you added flexibility. Simple commands are there too like print from screen and portrait and landscape settings. And if you have questions, the PDF-based help is right at your fingertips, along with tutorials to walk you step-by-step through your first render.

NEW Diskeeper® 2010 performance software makes systems faster and more efficient by preventing fragmentation before it happens!

Every system, every network, every company suffers from the effects of fragmentation. When fragmentation occurs, the system has already wasted precious I/O resources by writing fragmented files to cluttered spaces on the disk. You can defragment, but it’s a better strategy to prevent the problem from ever happening in the first place and always work with a clean, fast disk. Now, for the first time ever, you can – only with Diskeeper 2010.

Imagine a system that doesn’t fragment data on the hard disk. No I/Os needed to handle defragmentation. Clean disks on servers, workstations and laptops means unprecedented speed and reliable efficiency. Every minute. Every day. Disks uncluttered with fragmentation can last years longer due to reduced drive wear. Tight budgets relax as cost of ownership drops.

Introducing IntelliWrite™ fragmentation prevention technology. Now, through a major R & D breakthrough, Diskeeper 2010 addresses the cause of fragmentation and prevents up to 85% and more of the fragmentation that has long plagued every hard disk. This technology is unavailable anywhere else, and nothing else comes close.

IntelliWrite elevates system performance and efficiency to a whole new level. It keeps disks clean and fast by intelligently writing contiguous files to the disk, eliminating up to 85% of fragmented file writing! In fact, it includes a GUI that shows at a glance how many file fragments were prevented! The benefits of IntelliWrite and the fast, efficient disk it enables go far beyond what defragmentation alone can achieve. Some of the vital benefits that translate into real return on investment are:

Product Features:

A new level of peak system performance potential.
Faster file read and writes.
Zero impact on system resources while preventing fragmentation.
Minimized/eliminated data replication traffic and storage requirements caused by technologies which monitor block level changes (such as Snapshots).
Writes files contiguously for greatly reduced drive wear.
Significantly reduced energy consumption and cooling requirements – even more than what is achieved with defrag.

System Requirements:

Operating System Support:

All Windows 7 Editions
Windows Vista Editions
Windows XP Editions

Supports both 32 and 64 bit Windows

Resource Requirements:

The disk space requirements for Diskeeper depend on several factors. The Diskeeper installation package is about 60 MB. After the installation is complete, Diskeeper occupies about 38 MB of disk space. If Internet Explorer is not present on your computer, some other needed files (hhupd.exe, 50comupd.exe, and wintdist.exe) may be added. Further, your system may require a new or updated version of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), which is less than 6 MB.

A Note About Firewalls

As a normal part of its operation, the Diskeeper Service (DkService.exe) acts as a server on your system. If you are running a hardware or software firewall, you may see messages indicating Diskeeper Service is trying to act as a server. These messages are expected; you can safely allow these events. This functionality is designed to allow for support for network operations (e.g. Remote Control) via Diskeeper Administrator. You may also be notified that Diskeeper is trying to access the Internet. It is important to note that Diskeeper does not access the Internet (except when you specifically use the Check for Updates feature), but it does use Windows mechanisms that may trigger these alerts from your firewall. Again, these messages are expected and you can safely allow the events. If networkability or automatic update checking is not required, you can safely disable this.
