Real-time PBR Viewport Renderer U-Render Enters Free Public Beta.

Viewport technology is increasingly crucial for today’s workflows. With game engine technologies like Unity and Unreal real-time physically based rendering, shaders and raytracing expanding to 3D tools, the future indeed looks bright. We’ve witnessed plenty of DCC’s move to a more current viewport, including Blender, Maya, and C4D. You may remember the early workings of a 3rd party viewport renderer that features real-time PBR for C4D called Tachyon Render. That was by UPPERCUT visual technology and has since renamed to U-Render.

UPPERCUT has worked hard to reach the point where U-Render is ready for a public beta, asking users to help test the renderer and provide feedback. U-Render offers a Physically Based Material System that includes both specular and metallic workflows, real-time lights and shadows, Image Based Lighting, real-time displacements, and support for Cinema 4D’s internal clones and instances.
