The extended parameters include Edge and Face mode/color related settings.

17. TurboLux - New Feature (TurboCAD 2022 Platinum, Professional & Deluxe Software titles)

TurboLux is a state-of-the-art rendering technology which exploits Physically Based Rendering (PBR) techniques. PBR models light and materials based on the laws of physics, accurately simulating the flow of light, resulting in eye-popping images of photographic quality.

Support for PBR-compatible Materials for TurboCAD is included in the 2022 release, with over 800, fully-editable TurboLux materials in the TurboCAD Materials Palette. PBR Materials extend the traditional color mapping with normal, metallic, roughness, and height maps. Combined with shaders for matte, glossy, glass, car paint, and metal, these new materials enable renderings to look more realistic by simulating real world imperfections such as scratches, roughness, smudges, or noise

Heterogeneous Computing

TurboLux uses OpenCL and/or CUDA to run on any number of CPUs or Nvidia-based GPUs that are available on your machine. This highly optimized rendering layer provides performance that scales nearly linearly with the number of available computing devices. Using this high performance device layer, TurboLux extracts the most out of your computer’s available hardware, which results in faster, high quality rendered images.

TurboCAD Rendering Utilizing 32 CPU Threads and 2560 CUDA Cores

Advanced Rendering Features - Denoiser and Caustics

Denoiser – As a progressive based rendering engine, TurboLux samples pixels towards a final rendered solution. Sometimes this sampling process can produce fireflies or unlit pixels. Using a Denoiser is one way to remove these artifacts to accelerate progress towards a final, better quality rendered solution in a dramatically reduced period of time.

(a) Normal

(b) Denoised

Denoised Image after 20 Samples

Caustics

Caustics is an optical phenomenon where light shines through typically glass or water materials only to reflect and refract into additional light rays of different wavelengths and colors.

TurboLux supports advanced caustics by providing bidirectional path tracing to trace light not only from the camera but also from the lights in your scene to render the complex lighting scenes. This is particularly beneficial in Interior Design
