Revit 2018: Improvements to Cloud Services

By Justin Doughty

After exploring all of the new features of Revit 2018 I moved on to upgrading and working on a few of my older projects. As a good base for comparison, I thought I would run files through the Render in Cloud and Revit Live services to test those features from 2018.

What I am pleased to say I found was a very noticeable increase in quality, not just of the output, but of the interfaces and services also.

 The Render in Cloud service now has a new, cleaner interface, with sharing buttons in standard locations. And the output of render seems be of a higher quality, the reflections and textures feel more realistic.

The same can be said for the Revit Live cloud service, although the interface is the same, the file that is output has come a long way since the original version. The textures map better, the reflections are more realistic, the animation is a lot smoother and there are added features like RPC people. As this is still fairly new, I can see this being developed very quickly and look forward to the future updates.
