Thea Render

Advanced Materials

Utilize the Thea Material Editor to apply natural materials, layering, light emission, displacement, and alpha mapping to your visualizations.

The Thea Content Browser provides access to a vast array of ready-made, high-quality materials, models, and environments for easy application in your visualization.

External Models

Easily import high-quality external models into Thea Render to use as wireframes, reducing scene complexity. Replace wireframes with 3D models such as vegetation, vehicles, or people for final rendering.

Sections

Thea Render renders without requiring modifications to the original 3D model, allowing you to take interior views while maintaining geometry for reflections and light bounces. Lighting remains consistent, ideal for lighting plans.

Animation

Thea for SketchUp renders any animation visible in the SketchUp viewport, supporting various animation plugins like MSPhysics.

Thea for Rhino supports rendering Rhino animation types such as single-day sun studies, fly-throughs, path animations, and turntables. Render entire animations or select specific frame ranges.
