Chief Architect contains a built in, easy to use rendering engine that makes use of OpenGL rendering technology. OpenGL, the standard for high-end 3D graphics, has the advantage of good hardware support on most video cards. With OpenGL, render views should look the same on all computers regardless of the graphics card being used. The only difference is in the speed that it takes to perform the rendering. It is highly recommended that users have a graphics card that supports OpenGL hardware acceleration, to take full advantage of the rendering capabilities of Chief Architect. For complex models, an accelerated card generates quality renderings in seconds that might otherwise take hours with a non-accelerated card.
