General Features
|
|
Easy to
use, works seamlessly inside Rhino, and provides a host
of features that speed and simplify image rendering.
|
|
Uses
both raytracing and radiosity to create sophisticated
single-frame images and animations.
|
|
Automatically
calculates indirect light, hard and soft shadows, colour
bleeding, reflections, translucency, transparency,
refraction, highlight, depth of field, and depth
attenuation.
|
|
Supports
multiprocessors and background processing.
|
|
Includes
realistic mathematically generated 3-D plants with
seasonal variation, giving realistic plants, shadows,
and reflections.
|
|
Works
inside Rhino. Render changes to the model immediately.
You never need to export or start over.

Includes
radiosity technology providing unrivaled image quality
and accuracy.

Image Quality
|
|
Combine
raytracing and radiosity for highest quality images.
Calculates light, shadows, materials, transparency,
