Piranesi is a specialised '3D painting' tool, allowing you to start with a simple rendering of a 3D model, and quickly develop it into high quality images ready for client presentations. You can use Piranesi to quickly develop photorealistic images, by painting in textures and scenery with automatic perspective and masking; or you can Piranesi's wealth of effects to generate non-photorealistic images that have a more subtle, hand-rendered feel and focus the client's mind of what is important in the design. You can even use Piranesi with a 2D plan or elevation image, or to generate Panoramas!

In Piranesi 5 you'll find a reorganised user interface that makes it easier to learn, easier to find your way around, and yet manages to release more of the screen space for the image you're working on. There's a whole range of other new features and improvements to Piranesi and its sister program Vedute. Informatix have also provided an extra 200 royalty-free images to use in your work.
