What is UltraHD?

What is UltraHD?

UltraHD is our brand-new rendering option that gives you the ultimate realism in your images. UltraHD traces the path of light rays as they interact with objects in the scene, this allows for more accurate reflections, refractions, and shadows, resulting in realistic-looking images.

This includes accurately modelling the way light interacts with different materials, such as metals, glass, and plastic.

With UltraHD, we're redefining the standards of ArtiCAD rendering, delivering unparalleled clarity and realism thats simply breathtaking.
