25 Thea Render Reviews
Fast interactive rendering, incredible amount of geometry, CPU+GPU rendering, a simple but effective material system and the deepest integration with Sketchup, make this one of the most important tools to help me design and sell my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd like it to have more procedural features, dirt, bevels and randomizing options for both materials and proxy systems. I'd also love to have an even stronger integration with Allegorythmic's Substance tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use and the active community make it a great tool for Architects and Interior Designers. The work flow is smooth and the plugin for sketchup makes it easy to use complex models within thea without having to bother heavy models in sketchup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thea is already one of the best rendering engines if not the best in its price point, but it is still a work in progress in terms of development. Needs a little more in terms of model libraries and material libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed of Thea's Presto CPU+GPU engine.
The high quality renders you can get without having to do multiple test renders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Noise reduction, rendertime beveled edges and multi random materials would be most welcome additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like Thea's speed and quality for my architectural exterior and interiors, versatility of AO and BSD features. Excellent Rhino support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Team is too silent. Colimo does not support BSD. No BSD GPU support. Just few people know in the industry. Soft shadow calculation is too slow. Gloss material could be faster for environment rendering. BSD could be more optimized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What makes thea so awesome is the deep integration in sketchup and the CPU+GPU rendering. This helps me meet tight deadlines and makes it one of the fastest renderengines on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I would like they improve is the integration in other softwares and the effects, better glare, mist, sunflares, ... also a better batch renderer that would let me send on multiple computers while continuing to work on the main computer would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thea Render's quality and speed and logical setup for its material system. It's rendering system is advanced and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its integration with Cinema4D, specifically the user interface, needs work. It's cluttered and difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A unique hybrid rendering engine that let you choose between highest quality to agile speed spectrum of render with less material, light and render setup. I strongly recommend it if you are going to find your way in Viz industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
still not supporting particle system that leads lack of access to fluid simulation and also some other stuffs such as grass etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use along with feature rich interface makes it one of the best if not the best 3rd party renderer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing really. Maybe the focus could be equal on both GPU and CPU renderers. But just nitpicking really. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
