Frequently Asked Questions Release PodiumxRT

How is Podium xRT different from SU Podium?

PodiumxRT shows your design rendered in real-time, as you might be familiar with from a game (or Enscape/Twinmotion). So, there's no waiting time for a render. However, the render is less beautiful than in SU Podium.

Does PodiumxRT replace the latest SU Podium v2.6?

No, it serves a different purpose: quickly creating a nice image without waiting time. So, you can use it alongside SU Podium for those moments when there's a rush or when maximum quality isn't necessary.

What are the system requirements for PodiumxRT?

PodiumxRT runs on both Windows (10 and 11) and macOS (12, 13, and 14) and utilizes the progressive Intel OSPRAY path tracing engine. This engine uses the CPU for rendering calculations. Therefore, the higher the clock speed and the number of cores, the faster the render will be calculated. On macOS, Apple Silicon is supported.

For memory (RAM), it is recommended to have 16 GB or more. Memory does not directly affect rendering speed but ensures smooth operation with more complex models.

Can you use PodiumxRT without SU Podium or Podium Browser?

Absolutely. PodiumxRT operates independently with its own license.

What does PodiumxRT add to the existing version of SU Podium?

It enables you to present your design more quickly without the need to re-dress the model.

Also, PodiumxRT offers additional features that are not present in SU Podium, such as creating on-the-fly depth of field within the PodiumxRT-rendered scene. Additionally, soft shadow for point lights is provided (with a rendering time delay).

Does PodiumxRT adopt the materials and lights from SU Podium?

Indeed, you don't need to redefine them.

Do you get a discount on PodiumxRT if you already own an SU Podium license?

No, because PodiumxRT operates separately from SU Podium, it's not considered an upgrade.

What is the difference between PodiumxRT and Podium Walker?

PodiumxRT is the new name of Podium Walker.
