Renderer Features

About

Nomitech's BIM Renderering Engine is a low level 3D Rendering engine specifically designed to achieve high performance and quality rendering for BIM enabled applications. It is currently compiled and available in 3 different flavors:

  • BIM Renderer for Windows/Linux Library (using OpenGL 4.5 codepath) (high performance)
  • BIM Renderer Windows/Linux/Android/IOS Library (using OpenGL 3.0 and ANGLE codepath)
  • BIM Renderer for WebGL2 (using OpenGL 3.0 codepath) (web-assembly)

While the renderer is build and compiled in C++, there also exist high and low level API wrappers for:

  • Objectice C / C / C++ (Low Level)
  • Java (High Level and Low Level)
  • C# (Low Level)
  • JavaScript (High Level and Low Level)
  • TypeScript (High Level and Low Level)

BIM RENDERER FEATURES:
