PodiumxRT
Welcome to PodiumxRT 1.5
In PodiumxRT 1.5 we’ve applied the most powerful unbiased path-tracing and denoise technology provided by Cycles GPU and CPU and applied it to a SketchUp extension. It also can be a powerful companion to Podium Browser’s vast library or render-ready light fixtures, furniture, plants, materials and much more. Check out the new videos for more detail
This means higher quality rendering
- Photoreal – high-performance, unbiased path-tracer that generates photorealistic imagery through physically based light interaction in real time.
- Interactive – move inside the rendered scene quickly.
- GPU rendering engine for both Windows and Mac makes photo-realistic images in real time.
- AutoSync keeps the rendered scene connected to the SketchUp model so changes made in the model will automatically be updated in the rendered scene.
- Materials and lighting: Create render ready materials and artificial lights, including Light Emitting Materials.

Immediate Visual Feedback
Progressive rendering means you don’t have to wait for a frame to finish to decide whether it looks right!
Make changes and watch the viewport update immediately.
Preview your lighting, test different backgrounds, then simply let PodiumxRT refine the image to completion.
Panorama Support
Panorama Support
Hardware questions: PodiumxRT is designed with a strong emphasis on CPU based rendering. The more cores that your CPU has the better.

HDRI / Image-based lighting
PodiumxRT includes five HDRI backgrounds in the installation, and licensed users are entitled to 40 additional HDRI backgrounds/skies that can be downloaded on the website and added to PodiumxRT.

Soft Light Shadows and DOF
PodiumxRT features such as creating depth of field environment on the fly inside the PodiumxRT rendered scene. In addition, soft shadows for sun light and point lights is provided without slowing the rendering down.
High quality visualization that is predictable
PodiumxRT produces gorgeous still imagery, and makes a fantastic GPU based visualization option to complement SU Podium and Podium Browser. All SU Podium material properties are supported—design with the Podium Browser library for maximum efficiency!
Hardware questions: PodiumxRT 1.5 is designed with a strong emphasis on GPU based rendering. It does support CPU rendering as well. The faster your GPU, the faster the rendering.
