Panorama Tours was introduced for SU Podium

The ability to link multiple Podium panorama renders into a single comprehensive "Tour" via embedded hotspots was an exciting addition to the SU Podium ecosystem. Tours creates an immersive, interactive experience that lets you go above and beyond client expectations.

One of the most ambitious projects we saw all year was a remarkably detailed residential visualization by long time Podium user Nat Ellis from JB Architecture.

Office panorama

Nat created 14 Podium panoramas, including the four shown above, and linked them into a Panorama tour. This lets you walk through an entire two-story home, room to room, and presents an impressively true-to life vision of what the home would look like before construction even begins.

ProWalker GPU was released for Windows

ProWalker GPU is a photorealistic visualization and camera animation plugin for SketchUp, which allow users to create high quality still images, fly-through animations, or time-lapse videos from SketchUp models. Powered by NVIDIA Iray.
