NOX 0.43 released

NOX 0.43 released

Can NOX be faster? Yes, it can. In fact - it can render up to 90 percent faster (acceleration depends on the scene). Machines with Win7 64bit or higher can benefit from new engine which is now integrated in NOX.

NOX 0.43 features:

  • Added User Presets for postprocess settings: this feature comes with version 0.43. User presets is a user defined collection of presets for render postprocessing. It allows to create multiple settings and fast navigate between them. We added new menu for this purpose. Also loading/saving preset was moved here from Scene menu. Each preset saves: Layers, Post, Correction, Fake DOF, Effects.
  • Intel's Embree geometry engine connected, works only on x64 Win7 and later systems + Added Matte Shadow option in NOX Material. Discuss Embree on NOX forum. MAtte Shadow is in quite experimental state for now. A few conditions has to be fulfilled, however situations for its usage should often meet those conditions.
    - it works only with Path Tracing engine.
    - does not work with skyportals
    - works with environment texture as base, optional sun can be added.
    Usage: simply turn on matte shadow option in material editor. Also careful setting for environment texture is recommended. Because this trick is quite a hack for light evaluation, you have to set correct environment texture power before rendering. Tweaking blend layer corrections will not help, if you set it wrong before rendering. Discuss Matte Shadow here.
  • Blender: rendering with no applied modifiers works now with particle objects.
  • Material Editor: fixed behavior of setting reflection colors and link checkbox.
  • Material Editor: close window button works as Cancel button.
  • Bugfixes: autorefresh controls and average samples counter value fixed.

3D character models: when to use ready-made assets instead of custom designs

3D character models: when to use ready-made assets instead of custom designs

Working in CG and archviz often means balancing creative intent with production realities. Human presence can support scale, context, and clarity, but it also adds another layer of decisions. Ready-made 3D character assets help keep visual focus where it belongs without expanding the project scope beyond its real needs

Using 3D building models for industrial and commercial visualizations

In professional visualization, buildings are more than background elements. They define context, scale, and clarity for industrial and commercial projects. Well-prepared 3D building models help viewers read a scene instantly and understand its purpose without relying on technical descriptions or supporting text
From concept to render: where 3D models fit in the pipeline

From concept to render: where 3D models fit in the pipeline

The production pipeline in CG and visualization is built on a sequence of clear decisions. Each stage depends on how information is defined, shared, and preserved. 3D models serve as digital assets that translate abstract ideas into structured visual data and consistently carry them through to the final render
Why 3D model bundles are the smart choice for designers

Why 3D model bundles are the smart choice for designers

In professional CG and architectural visualization, efficiency depends on structured decision-making and reliable resources. Using grouped 3D assets allows us to focus on scene logic, composition, and project consistency instead of repetitive asset preparation and library management.

3D furniture models: speed up interior design projects

3D furniture models support structured, predictable interior design workflows in professional archviz. In projects where deadlines, coordination, and visual consistency matter, ready-to-use assets reduce friction and enable teams to focus on spatial decisions rather than repetitive preparation.
