What does real-time rendering mean?
Real-time rendering is a field of computer graphics focused on analysing and producing images in real time. The benefit of real-time rendering is that users can interact with the render as it is developed. Real-time rendering is most often referenced in relation to interactive 3D computer graphics or 3D environments in video games to quickly render motion.

How does real-time rendering work?
In real-time 3D rendering, computers work to photorealistically convert 3D models into 2D images. 3D images are calculated in real time, so that it appears as though many images are occurring in real time.

The power for real-time 3D
Real-time 3D rendering with Autodesk and Unity makes it possible to quickly build interactive designs, characters or models in-context – whether it’s a virtual walkthrough, game, car prototype or even a film project. Easily transfer files between Autodesk products and Unity, take advantage of Unity’s huge community of developer talent and support, and reach the broadest possible audience with Unity’s compatibility across 25+ platforms (including mobile, PC and VR/AR).
Benefits of real-time rendering
SEAMLESS WORKFLOWS
The FBX Exporter - and round-tripping between 3dsMax, Maya and Unity - automatically mirrors changes you make to your 3D assets in Unity, meaning faster iteration, greater productivity and more time savings.
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
Bring game characters to life or create VR walk throughs of buildings. Enable more interactive and immersive experiences for better design visualisation.
COST SAVINGS
Bring key stakeholders into your designs to gather and implement feedback instantly, avoiding costly changes made late in the production schedule.
EXTENDABLE AND MULTI-PLATFORM
Centralise all departments into a simultaneous, collaborative work environment and deploy your content across 25+ platforms including mobile, PC, AR/VR headsets and more.
Cross-industry power
MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT
Using 3ds Max or Maya with Unity gives 3D artists and animators a seamless creative workflow for creating games, films and AR/VR experiences for design visualisation.
AEC
Transform your Revit models into an immersive experience with just one click. Explore, share and interact with the model, and identify errors before construction begins.
AUTOMOTIVE
Add interactivity to your automotive ecosystem and make better design decisions. Leverage high-fidelity VRED data to create immersive marketing, sales and training applications.
