Can be slow but gives some nice results.<BR /> <BR /> A very new LightWorks engine, which enables raytracing and procedural materials (but no radiosity, unfortunately).<BR /> <BR /> You can export ArchiCAD documents to several other formats:<BR /> - direct conversion to Artlantis<BR /> - indirect (through OBJ, 3DS or VRML files) to external animation/rendering software, such as Lightwave, 3ds max and others. Please do a search in the Visualisation forum on this site, since there have been many discussions allready...
