Rendering down the price
Article Abstract:
Cinema 4D Go computer-aided design (CAD) software is a very good product for its price of only 169 pounds sterling. The software includes tools found on the more expensive Cinema 4D SE and it also has volumetric lighting as found on all of the Cinema CAD software. The Cinema 4D Go software includes texture-mapping modes and it has the same interface as the Cinema 4D SE software. But it does not include the special-effects tracts and the maximum rendering size as found on the more expensive Cinema software. The Cinema range of CAD software has been devloped by Maxon.

Rendering: let there be light
Article Abstract:
Lighting is one of the most important aspects of creating realistic three-dimensional architectural drawings using computer-aided design (CAD) systems. Lighting is broken down into three types which each give a different perspective to a representation. Point lights give direction to objects, whereas ambient light affects the whole scene. LightScape Technologies has produced a software package which uses images of real lights which can be placed on a design to give a more realistic effect.
