Start Rendering

Starts a new rendering of your current model and settings.

The entire model and settings are extracted from the SketchUp model and sent to the IRender Ray Trace engine.

Resume Rendering

Resume Rendering

Resume Rendering lets you continue a rendering which has been completed - either because the number of passes or rendering time limit has been exceeded, or because you clicked the Stop Rendering button - and add more passes.

IRender nXt is a multi-pass rendering system. The early passes allow you to quickly check settings - such as lighting and materials. With Resume Rendering you can render for just 20 passes or os, see how it looks, and if you like it add more passes, or a time limit, and continue without having to start over.

After rendering, you can either make changes and restart the rendering, or use Resume Rendering to add more passes for better results.



Resume Rendering lets you continue a rendering which has been completed - either because the number of passes or rendering time limit has been exceeded, or because you clicked the Stop Rendering button.

IRender nXt improves its image with each rendering pass. Resume Rendering lets you render for more passes without having to restart the rendering from the beginning.

You can enter more passes, or more time to let it render longer. (Enter 0 for no limit)

Double Up - click this button to double the current settings.

Note: If the rendering was not stopped properly - at the end of a pass - then the Resume Rendering icon will be grayed out.

Restart Rendering

Refresh 36.png The Restart Rendering feature restarts the rendering without extracting or reloading the geometry.

It will apply view or setting changes. This can be a real time saver when you want to make your changes, especially view changes, directly in SketchUp and then restart rendering without having to take time to re-extract the geometry from the model.

Most settings can be applied - such as view, sun position, and colors of materials. (Texture changes or geometry changes will require a full rendering.)
