Umbra Composit for ArchiCAD is discontinued and no more available for download.

Umbra Composit for ArchiCAD is a fully-automated cloud-based 3D solution for delivering high-resolution, photorealistic 3D to web, mobile, AR and VR devices. Change the way your 3D content is viewed, shared and interacted with. Composit applies Umbra’s patented algorithms to intelligently optimize complex models that, until now, could not be loaded on mobile mixed reality devices.

With the single click of a button from your design interface you can now instantly export your complex ArchiCAD models to Umbra’s cloud-based optimization platform, where it is automatically simplified and made available for viewing on any untethered viewing platform including mobile phones, AR and VR, and any device running a web browser.

The collaboration enabled by Composit will change the way architects and engineers design and communicate their vision, long before projects are built. The ability to instantly immerse key contributors and decision-makers in the project’s design gives an incredible sense of scale, depth and spatial awareness that simply cannot be matched by traditional renders, animations or even physical scale models. From cars and buildings to consumer products and even individual component parts, Composit makes it easy to resolve design conflicts and reach consensus on time, and on budget.

Features:

  • Check it with Composit
    Having your 3D design or project in your project revolutionizes the way you communicate design and visual understanding with your team. Easily review plans to gain unanimous consensus before projects begin or at any cycle stage.
  • Simple to use & fully integrated
    Download the Composit plug-in for your preferred 3D design tool, and click the Umbrafy button – that’s it! Umbra does the heavy lifting of automatically optimizing your model and making it viewable on supported mobile and mixed reality devices in minutes.
  • Fast & accurate
