At the 2023 COOL+ Whole-Space Digital Ecology Summit, Coohom unveiled its groundbreaking “Cloud-Based Real-Time Lighting Rendering” capability. The announcement was met with thunderous applause from nearly 2000 attendees.
“Why is ‘Real-Time Lighting Rendering’ attracting such attention?”
Because this innovation marks the industry’s first cloud-based real-time rendering feature. Coohom’s technology has once again shattered the ceiling of rendering capabilities, elevating the home furnishing industry to new heights.
This achievement, a product of three years of research and development by Coohom’s tech team, overcame multiple technical challenges.
First Milestone
The First Cloud-Based Real-Time Rendering in the Industry
Implementing cloud-based real-time rendering technology in the home furnishing sector was very challenging due to the industry’s complex business scenarios and high-quality demands.
Coohom has consistently pushed technological boundaries, evolving from industry-leading 10-second ultra-fast rendering to 4K film-level video rendering, and now to the newly released cloud-based real-time lighting rendering. Coohom has enriched its rendering product series, offering an unprecedented cloud-based real-time rendering experience.
The “Cloud-Based Real-Time Lighting Rendering” revolutionizes lighting control with a hands-on approach, delivering a seamless and interactive cloud rendering experience. It allows users to preview lighting adjustments in real time, achieving a “what you see is what you get” scenario with manual lighting. This enhances the efficiency of lighting rendering by nearly tenfold, providing efficient and prompt responses to designers’ editing actions.
Currently available to select users, business clients can contact Coohom for trial access. Trial data shows that the “Real-Time Lighting Rendering” capability reduces whole-house design rendering time from 2 hours to under 15 minutes, significantly boosting efficiency.
Many designers during the trial phase praised the feature’s strength and speed, noting that “Cloud-Based Real-Time Lighting Rendering” reduces wasteful steps in the lighting process and facilitates detailed texture adjustments.
Second Milestone
In-house Cloud-Based Real-Time Rendering Engine
Why developing cloud-based real-time rendering is so challenging? It’s a complex task that requires overcoming technical hurdles like high fidelity and low latency to generate realistic images and animations in real time.
Coohom’s KooLab Intelligent Graphics Lab has been dedicated to pushing the limits of graphic technology in industrial engineering. To date, the lab has contributed over ten papers to top international conferences like SIGGRAPH and CVPR.
To achieve “Cloud-Based Real-Time Rendering,” KooLab redesigned in-house software algorithms and hardware architecture, completely reconstructing the traditional graphic rendering system. This breakthrough has lowered traditional industry barriers (especially costs), offering an accessible RTX real-time rendering experience and revolutionizing the field of graphic technology.
After long-term exploration and market research, Coohom introduced the KooEngine real-time ray tracing engine. This revolutionary rendering service utilizes GPU acceleration and intelligent graphic optimization, offering rapid rendering, real-time feedback, high realism, and low cost.
It supports model previews, material creation, and lighting editing, meeting current user expectations for more realistic cloud design software and faster rendering.
Third Milestone
Global Computing Power Supports Intensive Operations
Before Coohom’s “Cloud-Based Real-Time Lighting Rendering” launch, several teams worldwide had achieved localized real-time rendering, but this required high-end local equipment and was time-consuming.
Unlike traditional local engines, Coohom’s advantage lies in its “cloud-based” approach. KooEngine harnesses the power of Coohom’s global network of high-performance GPU computing clusters, offering unprecedented rendering speed and efficiency.
Users can access highly realistic rendering results anytime, anywhere, and on any device, without relying on expensive local rendering servers.
To improve GPU utilization, Coohom optimized resource scheduling strategies and leveraged computing power advantages, supporting high-intensity operations. This contributes to better performance in video rendering and high-resolution tasks.
The launch of Coohom’s “Cloud-Based Real-Time Lighting Rendering” sets a new standard for the entire home furnishing industry and the digital rendering field.
