Light Tracer Render
Light Tracer Render is a physically based 3D rendering tool for jewelry and product designers. It uses GPU rendering and hardware ray tracing when available, with software ray tracing as a fallback. Users can animate objects, lighting, and camera paths, and record physics simulations on a timeline. It imports OBJ, STL, PLY, glTF 2.0, FBX, DAE, 3DM, STEP, IGES, and BREP files. Its cloud library contains over 2,300 PBR materials and 900 HDRI maps, while the web version supports live sharing links and an embeddable real-time viewer.
The listed platforms are Windows 11, macOS 15+, web browsers, iOS, and Android. Downloads require a GPU released after 2015 with an updated driver. Licenses can be installed on multiple computers but used on only one at a time without an additional license. Internet access is needed for license verification at startup and during use. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is available. The 3-Month Plan costs $9.99 a month, billed every three months.
