Lightbeans transforms manufacturers’ materials into ultra-realistic digital texture assets and virtual samples, making real products easier to visualize, specify, and experience in digital environments. Designers, architects, and other professionals can use accurate digital representations of real-world materials in their projects, from early concepts to final visualizations. With Lightbeans, what you see on screen can be directly connected to the actual products available in the real world.

Maxwell Render is a physically accurate render engine for architects, product designers, and visualization artists. It simulates real-world light transport and materials to produce photorealistic still and animated renders. It works as a plugin inside SketchUp, Rhino, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Maya, ArchiCAD, and form·Z, or as a standalone application.

Autodesk 3ds Max is 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software used to turn architectural and engineering design data into polished visualizations. Architects, interior designers, and visualization studios use it to refine imported models, build detailed environments, develop materials and lighting, and produce stills or animation. It complements BIM and CAD authoring tools rather than replacing project documentation, coordination, or analysis workflows.
