It is always exciting that architects ideas created with SketchUp and Shaderlight turn into a physical reality.

Recently the ArtVPS’s Shaderlight rendering software designed the new Boeing Everett Delivery center of Cambridge technology in Washington. The architect design practice DLR Group used this software for the Boeing job & its other nineteen North American Office Chain.

The DLR Group provides various fields like engineering, architecture, planning, and interior design services to the clients throughout the China and USA. Since the year 2000, when the 3D modeling tools are available for all users first, the firm has always been a primary adopter of current technology by using Google SketchUp in its designing process. In July 2011, The DLR Group had started to use plug-in and leading Shaderlight rendering tool and create quality visualizations for client which had not possible to achieve for SketchUp alone.

The New Boeing Everett Delivery Center in Washington is one of the most current projects of DLR Group which is benefited from Shederlight mostly. Providing an effective and simple means for visualizing the 3D model to photorealistic quality, the interactive rendering tools were used for Group’s presentation and client’s approval. In past, the DLR Group has worked with the tools: Revit, Form Z, Kerkythia, 3dsMax & Viz. But now the Shaderlight’s interface has ability to communicate at a level above Google SketchUp has made a choice for DLR Group to choose rendering tools.

According to Mr. Steven McKay, the senior principal & the design leader of DLR Group, Shaderlight is an excellent presentation engine which adds a new way to architecture in client presentation. Now, the ability of Shaderlight to present clients with photorealistic and high quality design is becoming it the essential part of securing client approval for designers & architects.
