New Training Manual for RenderWorks Now Available

Columbia, Maryland (April 13, 2004)— Nemetschek North America is pleased to announce the availability of the RenderWorks Recipe Book, a new step-by-step training manual for RenderWorks, Nemetschek North America's plug-in rendering product. The RenderWorks Recipe book is specifically designed to get new RenderWorks users up and running quickly and to help maximize their productivity.

The book was written by Dan Jansenson, an architect in private practice based in Santa Monica, California and an expert RenderWorks user. Dan provides valuable insights, tips, and tricks based on his real-world experience with the program. The RenderWorks Recipe book describes twenty of the most commonly used tasks; he provides suggested default rendering settings that can be reliably used to develop high-quality photorealistic rendering without a great deal of effort or experimentation. The book is also a great reference tool that can be used to refresh one's memory of some of the program's more subtle tools and controls. The book is currently available from www.imageprops.com

Dan describes this manual as a "true recipe book" in that it is written in a clear, easy-to-use format fully illustrated with step-by-step instructions, screenshots, and graphics. There are twenty essential RenderWorks exercises that users can work through at their own pace.

"My goal in writing this book was to help smart-sized design firms' designers compete in an increasingly challenging environment. As I've learned in my own practice, VectorWorks with RenderWorks is uniquely suited to individual practitioners, as well as progressive design firms. Writing a book that helps friends and colleagues unlock some of the program's powerful and flexible visualization and presentation capabilities was a source of much enjoyment and satisfaction," says Jansenson.
