3D, Lighting & Materials

NEXT-GENERATION FAST IN EVERY CATEGORY

Fast isn't just about rendering. Build effects faster, try things faster. Combine nodes and arrive at something wonderful in minutes rather than hours.

Turn overnight renders into before-lunch renders with NURA, the GPU-powered, unified rendering system that allows you to use multiple renderers in the same project.

READY TO RENDER, ALL THE TIME

One tool, multiple renderers. With NURA, you're getting a physically based, unified rendering model that treats your lighting and materials correctly and consistently.

SUPERCHARGED CUSTOM 3D

Build complicated geometry in seconds from built-in 3D generator nodes and deformers that take care of the math for you. Combine procedural and hard surface meshes without switching tools.

ALL IN ONE PLACE

With one flexible node graph housing your entire scene, your shading systems are no longer separated from your geometry. Meshes can use the data from a material to drive deformation, or vice versa, all without leaving the node graph.

FEATURES

Notch is the only tool that lets you mix and match renderers inside of the same project.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS

Whether you’re importing meshes, Substance Materials or HDRIs, Notch supports the formats the industry relies on.

PARAMETRIC & BOOLEANS

Go from simple primitives to complex structures with the procedural systems in Notch. Use particles or volumetrics as the basis for generating geometry.

BUNDLE ASSETS

Build incredible scenes with just a couple of nodes, and reuse or share them to build up an asset library for your entire project or team.

Learn more

PHYSICALLY BASED

Create realistic materials using industry-standard material maps, or build your own with generators and shading nodes inside Notch.

BUILT-IN HDRI GENERATOR

Physically accurate, natural daylight HDRI generator with support for sun azimuth, elevation, atmospheric density and more.

MATERIAL LIBRARY + SUBSTANCE

Get to your idea faster by using our ever-expanding built-in material library and customisable materials, or load industry-standard Substance Materials.

ALL THE LIGHTS

Spot lights, area lights, emissive materials, volumetric lighting, HDRI generators, and IES lights. Everything you need to light your scene and make it come alive.

ANYTHING TO ANYTHING

The power of Notch is in enabling you to not only master one aspect of 3D but to experiment and combine with other features.

Generate Materials

Use a wide range of texture generators to build up complex and natural-looking materials from scratch inside of Notch.

Particles to Lights

Using particles as a source for effects can lead to amazing results in very little time, and is incredibly easy to construct.

Cloned Geometry

Create large scenes or tons of detail by using cloners. Clone geometry and add variation to get a lot out of a little.

Geometry to Lights

Turn any part of your geometry into an emissive surface that can light your scene.

IMMERSE YOURSELF

You can create amazing renders with Notch, but don't take our word for it — check out what our users are creating — we think their work speaks for itself!
