Free in 800*600 with Watermark else 59$
Biased and unbiased, works in background, can make animation, also animation with Sketchyphysics!
Can works with Kerkythea

Here my try (sorry it's not a Moi model and not a model by me just for see the watermark)


Example from the Forum

interesting and shows some really nice quality on the website gallery... It seems now Kerkythea will not be the only engine to have both unbiased and biased methods in one engine! Only problem i think for Twilight it's for Sketchup only...

this engine is same like 2008 echo. :S but there is direct KT 2008 export in SK so I dont understand just other apearance.

It's very more easy than KT ;)

nice but only windows support...I think MoI is the last app I support that is not cross platform.

"It seems now Kerkythea will not be the only engine to have both unbiased and biased methods in one engine!"

Isn't Vray not one of this machines too? And VfSU is available too, but for much more money than twilight.

QUOTED from thea forum


It's actually very, very simple...
Kerkythea was the first GI render application, which Giannis started back in 2003-2004...
You can read much more about Kerkythea at the official web-site...
Back in the fall of 2008, Giannis realized that the development of KT took more and more time and he decided to quit his normal job and focus on the Thea project...
The Thea render is a new render application build from scratch, but based on a lot of knowledgement from the years developing KT...

Twilight is a plug-in for Google SketchUp but the engine behind is Kerkythea 2008 Echo...
The people behind Twilight is Chris (aka Avariant) and Fletch and they've licensed the KT SDK from Giannis...
(Please remember that Twilight isn't the only SU render application, which is based on the KT SDK... It's a well known fact that Podium for SU is also based on the KT SDK licensed to the people behind Podium...)

Thea is a brand new render application with many significant differences and advantages compared to KT and will become available as a stand alone Studio version and with a number of plug-ins for various modelling applications (i.e. Blender, 3dsMax / Maya / SolidWorks, Cinema4D, Modo, Rhino, SketchUp and more)...

a little test with a logo 3D exported from Moi in Skp format ;)
