Ever needed to create photorealistic and professional images for your projects without having to wait for hours? Now you can!

Edificius is the first BIM software for architectural design integrated with the new AMD Radeon™ ProRender Ray Tracing engine using Artificial Intelligence to produce the most photo-realistic BIM architecture renders you've ever seen in just a matter of seconds.

ACCA software and AMD have partnered up to bring you a revolutionary technology allowing you to create professional renderings without even being an expert, without wasting time making complicated adjustments and above all without doing any image post-processing operations with other dedicated software.

Maximum Quality rendering at maximum Speed!

With AIrBIM, having to wait hours to get a professional high quality rendering is now a thing of the past.

The software uses Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning Denoiser) to "remove" noise from a partially rendered image and drastically reduce processing time.

The Machine Learning Denoiser is capable of comparing noisy images with their completely processed counterparts and reconstruct the final render much faster than before and automatically.

This means that there’s no need to trace all the light rays in the scene with hundreds or thousands of render passes: Artificial Intelligence takes care of the whole image optimization process by itself.

Rendering with Artificial Intelligence (AI)

You don’t need to be an expert... Artificial Intelligence with in-process lighting adjustments for optimal rendering settings!

With the Machine Learning Denoiser, Edificius AIrBIM allows you to produce the optimal rendering quality automatically.

No need to play around with tedious settings to speed up the rendering process, a very common problem when using older rendering software technology.

The Artificial Intelligence algorithm automatically identifies the most efficient route and the ideal settings in order to produce the highest quality rendering for your scene and in the quickest manner possible.

Rendering Settings with Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AIrBIM is so advanced and powerful that it allows you to change essential lighting settings "in-process" while the rendering is still progressing and also see those changes in real time in the preview window or in 3D viewport.

Produce very high-resolution renderings of large scenes making the most of your PC's performance

AIrBIM uses and balances the computing capabilities of multiple GPUs and CPUs in the same system.

The "Memory Sharing" function allows the continuous and dynamic load balancing of your hardware resources during the rendering process.

Balance CPU and GPU usage efficiently to obtain high image quality renderings even with very complex scenes.

The main advantage is that your computer’s performance is drastically improved due to an enhanced memory management and workload balancing feature.

Memory Sharing is supported by GPUs based on AMD’s “Vega” GPU architecture with HBCC (High-Bandwidth Cache) controller, such as the Radeon™ Pro WX 9100.

Get photorealistic renderings thanks to PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials

With Edificius AIrBIM your rendering output quality becomes photo-realistic even with PC hardware normally used by technicians who deal with architectural, structural and plant design aspects, etc.

The software produces highly-realistic renderings thanks to fast iterative algorithms that calculate the amount of light reflected and PBR (Physically Based rendering) materials available in the online library provided with Edificius AIrBIM.

A library packed with thousands of PBR materials that give that expert touch to your renders and that allow the rendering engine to correctly calculate the amount of light reflected or absorbed from the materials and its direction.

What are PBR materials?

PBR is a rendering method based on the physical characteristics of a material.

To get a realistic representation of the physical characteristics of a material a normal 2D texture isn’t enough.

This is why the materials that use the PBR methodology are represented by different maps (textures) that tell the engine shader how simulate all the lighting properties that a given material assumes with respect to its real world behaviour in relation to light refraction, reflection, absorption, etc.

PBR materials

Take a 360° Pano photo and automatically get a hyper-realistic render with the same lighting conditions as your photo.

Do you want to render an architectural project (interior or exterior) by placing it in a specific location or represent it at a specific time of the day or year?

With Edificius AIrBIM you can use a 360° HDR (High Dynamic Range) Pano photo of where your project will be located and use it as a background for your rendering.

Thanks to IBL technology (Image-based lighting) Edificius AIrBIM sets the lighting conditions for you with a lighting level coming directly from the 360° panorama photo.

Edificius AIrBIM offers a large archive of 360º backgrounds organized according to different climatic conditions.

The 360° backgrounds make it very easy to set all the rendering parameters and simulate any kind of lighting scenario (winter, summer, in a Nordic country) by simply selecting or loading a HDR Pano-background.

Photo editing and photo insertion

Photo insertion and photo retouching to see the project realized in its natural context

To insert and simulate the project in its real context, all you need is a simple photo of the site, normally including a reference building to detect the photo’s perspective, and then align the 3D model of your project to the photo. The software allows you to realistically evaluate how the project adapts to the context in a simple and fast way by producing a rendered image of the scene.

The model is graphically integrated into the photo's perspective by adjusting the vanishing lines, the visibility settings, transparency level, the time of day for correct shadow simulations and the final image rendering settings. Additional photo retouching features allow you to obtain a complete and professional result with just one application.

Depth of field

Depth of field to highlight details of the project...

Using a depth of field effect, you can change the image focus point to highlight specific design or project details. Change the focal distance and f/stop values during the rendering process.

Volumetric fog

Volumetric fog for photographic shot effects

With the Volumetric Fog or Light Scattering option, easily reproduce the effects of morning mist across the landscape or of dust suspended in the air for your interior design images... typical professional photography at your fingertips.

Lights, shadows, reflections

Lights, shadows, reflections automatically from an image!

With the Climate Backgrounds choose a panoramic background image (clear sky, scattered clouds, cloudy, etc.) and all the rendering parameters (exposure, shadows, reflections, etc.) are automatically defined Beautiful and appealing renderings... even without being an expert!

Photorealistic renderings

Photorealistic renderings with brighter and more vivid colours and sharper defined reflections!

Thanks to specific features for managing light behavior in interior and exterior renderings, you get:

  • brighter colours and better-defined shadows
  • stained glass windows with sharper reflections of the landscape and surrounding objects
Clay Render

CClay Render for the presentation of project ideas and concepts...

With the Clay Render feature active, a simple neutral colour is applied to the BIM model to produce mono-colour renderings without materials useful for presenting design concepts or for evaluating shapes and volumes in relation to its impact in its context.

Magic render

Magic render: filters and colors to excite

With the Magic Render feature, apply basic colour filters (brightness, contrast, etc.) and artistic filters (sketch, vintage, cardboard, etc.) to your renderings without needing any external post-processor image manipulation software!

Panoramic view 360 簞

360° pictures in mono or rectangular-wide-stereo format (equirect-pano)

Experience the project and take a virtual tour of the project in a photographic quality immersive reality view. Now produce a high-quality rendered 360° pano view for use with the most popular VR display technologies such as Google Cardboard®, Gear VR®, HTC Vive®, Oculus Rift®, etc.

AMD Radeon ProRender

The new AIrBIM feature in Edificius is integrated with the AMD Radeon™ ProRender Ray Tracing Engine.

Although Radeon™ ProRender is a hardware independent rendering engine, AMD graphics cards are recommended for GPU acceleration and improved performance but you can still use any Intel or Nvidia video card.
