Thea Render - Just Render!
Thea Render vereinigt alle Vorteile moderner Renderengines. Beschäftigen Sie sich nicht mit den Einstellungen Ihres Renderkerns! Mit Thea Render kümmern Sie sich um das was Sie interessiert. Thea Render ist besonders schnell, da er alle vorhandenen Resourcen verwendet und befreit Sie von der Verwendung abstrakter Prozentwerte! Geben Sie einfach 100 Watt als Lichtstärke ein. Oder haben Sie schonmal eine 132% helle Lampe im Baumarkt gekauft? Wen interessiert denn was Rendersettings wie Light-Cache, Irradiance-Cache oder Bounces sind? Thea Render liefert Ihnen perfekte Bildergebnisse ohne Umwege!

Unbiased-Like Rendering
Benutzt: GPU & CPU & Netzwerk
Die "PRESTO"-Renderengine nutzt sowohl Ihre CPU, als auch Ihre GPU zur Berechnung des Bildes. Im interaktiven Modus können Sie interaktiv wie in einer Spieleengine an Ihren Szene arbeiten. Für die finale Berechung Ihrer Bilder können Sie Ihr Projekt lokal auf Ihrem Rechner berechnen oder auch auf mehrere Rechner in Ihrem Netzwerk verteilen.

Unbiased Rendering
Benutzt: CPU & Netzwerk
Der unbiased Renderkern von Thea liefert genauesten Ergebnisse und atemberaubende fotorealistische Bilder.
Thea Render unterstützt Relighting. Das bedeutet, Sie können nach dem Rendern die Helligkeit und Farbe von jedem Licht im gerenderten Bild ändern - das erspart Ihnen Stunden an Test-Rendering- und Feinabstimmungszeit.

Added: Thea Fresnel Ramp Shader.
Added: Load button in Thea Material, that allows you to load *mat.thea files.
Added: Content Browser for Materials (*.mat.thea) and Skies (*.hdri). Thea Material library *.lib4d is no longer supported. The materials must be replaced with the ones found in the content browser.
Added: Thea Object Tag. It can be used to handle specific cases where transferring is not taking place during animation. It consists 3 options:
1. On Tweak: This is the default option that objects are transferred automatically on state change. Even objects without Thea Object Tag use this mode.
2. On Frame Change: It forces the object to be retransferred on every frame change during animation.
3. Never Retransfer: this option locks the object state.
Added: Denoise (only in Presto and Production mode). Before start rendering, you need to enable the "Denoise" option in the Render Settings. Any scene rendered form this point, will also produce the denoise image. Use the display options in the darkroom to configure denoise settings without having to render the whole scene again (strength and details).
There are 2 supported denoise methods: Non-Local Means and Nvidia's Optix.
Added: Tonemap controls in the darkroom.
Added: Thea Camera Tag can override both Denoise and Tonemap options.
Added: Support for 32-bit buffers. Enable it in Render Settings > Thea Render > Channels > Channel Custom Depth.
Added: Back face materials via side option in Texture Tag (not supported yet for restricted materials in Selection Tags).

Removed: Texture menu is removed from ALL material layer shaders. To get access to extra texture parameters, add a Thea Bitmap Shader.
Removed: Shadow catcher from Render Settings is removed . As mentioned above, to create a ground plane in Thea, add a floor object and a Shadow Catcher Material.

Changed: C4D and Thea Materials can be applied on Sky and Physical Sky objects. In C4D material the Color channel will be taken into consideration,
while in Thea Material, the diffuse color and texture of Basic BSDF will be used.
If the texture is preset, it will be set as IBL bitmap in Thea's environment, otherwise the color will be set for Dome Illumination.
Changed: A newly created materials are set as active.
Changed: When a Cinema4D Material is converted into Thea Material, the newly created material is set as active.
Changed: Simplified Material Interface.
Changed: Intermediate files are no longer produced during texture baking
Changed: Moved Extended Tracing (Render Settings) in Advanced Group.
Important Notes:
The plugin in v2 requires Thea Render Data to be installed from scratch.
To activate the License go to main menu Thea Render > License and add the *dat license file.
We are currently working on the new manual, so some features might not be explained in detail here.
We have noticed issues with camera manipulation on highly demanding scenes that we try to resolve. Sometimes, having thousands of objects in the same hierarchy level might cause a crash. Consider using Null groups to reduce the number of objects per hierarchy level.
