Foreground Effects
Foreground effects affect the foreground of the image when rendered, and include fog and snow effect. None of
these effects are available as an interactive preview and can only be seen when a full render is done.
To set up a foreground for your render, simply drag your chosen foreground onto the palette on the right hand
side of the tab.
To edit your chosen foreground effect, simply double-click the effect in the palette. The Foreground Editor dialog
will appear. Each editor will be different for each foreground type. The Fog editor is shown here:
NOTE If the Presenter profile in the Options Editor (see “Presenter Page” on page 405 for more information) is set to
Advanced, the dialog box will include the full list of parameters and allow you to change the type of foreground.
At any time, click the Apply button to apply the parameter edits to the scene.
You can save an edited foreground for use in other scenes by simply dragging it into the Foregrounds folder
inside the My Effects user archive.
Use Presenter Rendering Styles
Rendering Tab
Like the
Materials, Lighting and Effects tabs, the Rendering tab is divided into two panes for archives and palette.
This tab is where you select in which style and how you wish the scene to be rendered. Each archive has a number
of different render styles to choose from.
