What’s New in 3DEXCITE 3D Rendering Software: 3D Render 2025

3D Render just got a major upgrade for 2025 — and it’s all about speed, simplicity, and flexibility. Watch the video to explore the latest features designed to make image creation faster and easier than ever, whether you’re working on desktop or on the go. From ready-to-use sample scenes and mobile access to enhanced performance and intuitive staging tools, see how the newest version of 3DEXCITE xStudio empowers you to render with precision and ease.

Why Choose 3DEXCITE 3D Rendering Software?

3DEXCITE sets itself apart from ordinary 3D rendering software with its unique blend of cutting-edge technology, ease of use, and industry-specific capabilities. Here’s why professionals across industries trust 3DEXCITE:

Best-in-Class Photorealism

3DEXCITE delivers photorealistic 3D renderings, enabling you to visualize products with exquisite detail before they even exist physically. Its global illumination and advanced material shaders produce images often indistinguishable from photographs.

For example, 3DEXCITE helped Hyundai create “surreal but real” launch visuals for the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 electric cars – imagery so realistic that Hyundai’s Chief Creative Officer called them the best product photos the company had seen.

Real-Time Collaboration Anywhere

3DEXCITE’s 3D rendering software is connected with the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, enabling real-time collaboration and access from anywhere, on any device. Your design, engineering, and marketing teams can work together on the same up-to-date 3D scenes simultaneously – whether they’re in the office or across the globe. Collaborative features allow multiple stakeholders to review and comment on visuals in real time, streamlining feedback loops. In practice, this means faster decision-making and fewer miscommunications – everyone stays on the same page in the cloud.

Faster Output & Scalability

With cloud-powered 3D rendering, you can generate high-resolution visuals in a fraction of the time it would take on a single workstation. 3DEXCITE harnesses powerful cloud servers to process images and animations incredibly fast – freeing you from the limits of your local GPU/CPU. Rendering tasks that used to tie up a designer’s PC for hours can now finish in minutes.

This scalability also means you can tackle massive scenes without investing in expensive hardware. And even better, gone are the days when your computer gets unresponsive and busy with heavy local rendering jobs. You are free to continue any tasks on your computer, while the heavy computing is carried out separately on the cloud behind the scene.

CAD & PLM Integration within the Dassault Systèmes ecosystem

3DEXCITE 3D rendering software integrates natively with your CAD data and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems, eliminating time-consuming data prep and conversion. As part of the Dassault Systèmes ecosystem, 3DEXCITE reads engineering models (e.g. CATIA, SOLIDWORKS) directly and maintains a single source of truth for product data. Its highly automated pipeline optimizes heavy CAD files into lightweight models in one click. Design changes? No problem – updated CAD geometry can flow right into the rendering scene, so marketing imagery always reflects the latest design iteration.

Industry-Specific Solutions

3DEXCITE is a robust 3D rendering software platform tailored to multiple industries.

For automotive and transportation, 3DEXCITE produces showroom-quality car renderings and animations, supporting everything from design reviews to marketing brochures.
Retail and e-commerce teams use 3DEXCITE to create interactive 360° product configurators and AR experiences so customers can “try” products virtually
