Lightworks Features

Lightworks is a comprehensive suite of products, each focusing on a specific area of rendering functionality.

Lightworks has been designed to enable the creation of a wide range of rendering solutions for all types of market and application. This structure means that customers can select the product set that satisfies the exact needs of their market, enabling the creation of powerful and easy-to-use CAD applications for their users. The modular structure also gives customers the ability to easily introduce additional functionality into their applications when required.

The latest version of Lightworks is our Studio Edition or SE, which wraps up almost 20 years of development experience into ready to use solutions that provide a streamlined workflow for the user and ‘drag and drop’ render styles which give great looking results every time with mimimal user input.

Lightworks also includes a physically based lighting model supported by advanced sky, area, and goniometric light sources, and a range of global illumination techniques. Hybrid use of scan-line and ray-trace algorithms and techniques such as analytical anti-aliasing and Interactive Image Regeneration (IIR) make Lightworks the fastest photorealistic-rendering engine available. For a given view, Lightworks can be over 100 times faster than conventional ray-tracer engines for materials or lighting updates. Lightworks has also developed our own High Dynamic Range Images, or HDRI’s, which we provide to our customers for both Image Lighting and scene creation.

All of which combine to offer the highest quality rendering for your users.
