Revolutionise your planning
experience in ReluxDesktop! NEW with 3D real-time renderer
We have enhanced the professional lighting planning software ReluxDesktop and added Enscape’s real-time renderer. Now you can view your projects in photorealistic visualisations and live presentations in a matter of seconds. The tool is available in thelatest versionof ReluxDesktop. Take a look at the video.
Realtime interaction: view your planning changes directly in the rendered visualisation, perfect for brainstorming sessions or client presentations. Dive into your drafts like never before. Experience spaces in 3D for incredibly intuitive design evaluations and optimisations.
Seamless integration: Enscape is integrated into ReluxDesktop, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.
Exports for output: save your visualisations as images and use them in your output.
You can find further functional enhancements directly in the software under “What’s new in ReluxDesktop?” Tip: try the real-time renderer with the new project examples!!
Thanks to our members, the ReluxDesktop software is free of charge for everyone. With a ReluxThirdParty licence, it is also possible to plan with products from non-RELUX members.
We hope we’ve made your day 😊

Real-time interaction
Dive into your visualisation and have the ability to navigate through the scene using a game controller. This transforms your project into an immersive experience.
In the RELUX view, both 3D objects and lights are adjustable in real time, with the changes being displayed in a separate window. Enhance your objects with textures, resulting in photorealistic visualisations.
Seamless integration
The real-time renderer is accessible directly via a ribbon in ReluxDesktop labelled “Real-time rendering.” It offers a wide range of options for customising your view, including the ability to switch between daylight and artificial light, as well as adjust the cloud cover density for softer shading. The time of day is also adjustable, which offers the evaluation of visual lighting effects alongside the data in ReluxDesktop. Watch the tutorial video for more details.
Exports for output
Capture visualisations directly in ReluxDesktop and use them in your outputs. Impress your clients with stunning renderings of your Relux project.
