nStyler 2014 FAQ
About nStyler 2014
Q1:What's nStyler 2014?
nStyler 2014 is an interactive real-time visualization program with an individual rendering engine that performs high-quality renditions. Features real-time rendering raytracing and renders large-scale assembly data developed by 3D digital design and engineering software including Rhinoceros, thinkdesign, Solidworks and others(optional). It also supports general file formats such as,3fd, obj, VRML, FBX and others.
Q2:What is the difference between nStyler and the other rendering applications?
With the traditional still image rendering application, you cannot check a material's final image assigned to the model until the rendering is done.
Since with nStyler you can check the image while you are modeling, you can focus on modeling and create design simulations anytime.
To get high quality results with still image rendering, you need skill, experience and usually the photo-realistic image requires a long rendering time. With nStyler, anyone can get high quality rendering results quickly.
Q3:Is it free software?
nStyler 2014 is a free software as it is, so you can download it from this site. If you are using Rhino, purchasing exporter from Rhino, you can export .3dm file to .nxr (nStyler native file) with layer and material information. See details.
Q4:Do I need any extra hardware to use nStyler?
nStyler has a Standard mode which uses the CPU. But if you want a realtime ray trace effect, a good graphic card is needed. Please refer to the list of system requirements and supported graphic cards.
Q5:Does nStyler work on Mac?
nStyler can work on a Mac which uses a NVIDIA graphic card. However we do not recommend using nStyler on a Mac or guarantee that nStyler will work properly on a Mac.
