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, color 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. Interactive raytrace and radiosity rendering. Viewpoint animation for walking through and flying around model. Quick raytrace rendering option with reflections, transparency, and shadows. Progressive-refinement rendering algorithms with on-screen preview. Interactive radiosity solution using OpenGL. Render a partial window. Save and restore plant, exposure, sun and sky, and environment settings. Save and restore radiosity solutions with the model. Batch rendering through scripts. Multiprocessor support in Windows NT/2000. Background processing. Graphical library browsers for materials and plants. Comprehensive full-color PDF documentation and on-line, context-sensitive help. |
