Tequila
Product shots that look like photographs.
Tequila is a product renderer for Windows, Mac and Linux. Bring in a CAD model, drop real materials on it, light it like a studio, and watch the final picture render live as you work.

The viewport is the render.
What you see while you work is the final picture, refining in place. Drag a material onto a part, turn the light, move the camera: the render follows.
- STEP and IGES through OpenCASCADE, plus Rhino, Blender, glTF, FBX, OBJ, STL, 3MF, PLY, USD and IFC
- Assemblies, names, colours, units and CAD layers come through
- Re-import a changed model and keep your materials and labels
- Open KeyShot scenes with their materials, lighting and cameras

Copper HammeredOver 300 materials, ready to drop.
Plastics with real textures, anodised and brushed metals, car paint with flakes, glass, gems, liquids with bubbles, wood, stone, and fabrics that grow real fibres. Drop one on a part, a selection or a whole group.
- A node editor for your own materials
- Labels and decals, placed in millimetres
- Texture packs, KeyShot material packages and colourways
Light it like a studio.
Start from a studio setup, or build your own from HDRI environments, sun and sky, and area, spot, point and IES lights. Save the setup by name and use it on the next product.
- An HDRI editor to place highlights where you want them
- Light groups you can rebalance after rendering
- Shadow catchers, contact shadows and mirror floors
- Caustics through glass, with photons or by solving each lamp's path
A real UV editor.
Unwrap a part in a click, then put labels and textures exactly where they print. Every change is one undo step, and every tool works from scripts too.
- Snapping, rulers, guides, layers and a measure tool
- Move, cut, stitch, pin, relax, straighten and pack islands
- Symmetry, texel density and a checker right on the part
Fibres, glass and gems.
The details that give a render away are the ones Tequila works hardest at.
- Real fibres for felt, velvet and tennis-ball fuzz
- Spectral rendering for the fire in gems and crystal
- Light through clear glass, so what's inside a bottle is lit
- ACES colour end to end through OpenColorIO
Line drawings in a second.
Render wireframe draws the model's edges at any size, with no ray tracing: every triangle, or just the parts' own edges and outline for a clean drawing. Hidden lines faint or gone, any line width, dark or paper colours.
Script it, or let an AI app drive it.
Connect an AI app in one click and ask it to set up materials, lighting and renders, make a material from a description, or write you a plugin. Or write the Python yourself.
- Works with any app that speaks MCP
- A built-in Assistant for the AI provider you choose, or a local model
- Python scripting, plugins and a command-line renderer
