Softpedia Editor's Review for Bunkspeed Shot (formerly HyperShot)
|
The first digital camera for your 3D data
Written by Mihaela Citea on May 18th, 2012
Bunkspeed Shot is a 3D rendering solution designed especially for architects, modelers and artists. This application combines simplicity with powerful features that can help you obtain realistic images from models.
The software provides its users with a simple interface, with well-organized menus that offer easy access to features. You can open multiple photos and sketches at once, in different tabs.
There is a variety of tools that can help you process your sketch. You can start either by creating your own model, or importing an already existing one. Then, you are able to modify the texture, lighting, shading and other elements to obtain a realistic virtual scene.
You can import basic model formats and add multiple geometrical shapes to the sketch. The position of each item, resolution, focal length, its aspect and shadow are customizable items.
The program allows you to either import material files or create your own material by setting the type, dimensions, texture, color and other parameters. Each sketch you create can be assigned to a custom camera profile, which you can change anytime you want.
Furthermore, the environment can also be customized, as you can modify its every aspect, starting with the background and dimensions and ending with the resolution, brightness and reflection. Options regarding image quality are also available.
After your model is created, all that's left to do is render it. First, you have to set the output format, resolution, the render quality and mode. The rendering duration depends on the model type and complexity, but you can view the remaining time, stop or pause the process at any moment you deem necessary. Furthermore, closing the program does not interrupt the offline render, thus you can continue your work.
Although it is focused on simplicity and easing the users' work, Bunkspeed Shot is a complete 3D rendering solution. It offers advanced features that professional users are looking for, allowing them to easily generate photo-realistic images of virtual models.

· Choose from various mapping types (uv, box, planar, cylindrical, spherical).
· Alpha/Transparency channel is supported for bump decal creation.
· Combine with textures on non-transparent materials for the most realistic look.
· Use of true normal maps instead of image file to get the most refined look for bump maps.
· Bump dialog has the same functions as the new and improved texture dialog.
· Improved texture manipulation
· Place the center of the texture or decal exactly at the position you want on the model with a single mouse click.
· When experimenting with various textures and decals, a “Reset” button lets you quickly reset all values to quickly start over “with a clean sheet of paper.”
· “Intensity” let’s you control the brightness of the texture on the object with a given material.
· Environment height adjustment
