■ Medium Quality. Choose this rendering style for a medium-quality
render. This includes all reflections and transparencies and anti-aliasing
only on shadows. You may use this style for a final preview of the scene,
prior to exporting your final rendered output.
The Standard archive contains many rendering styles that simulate hand
drawing and other non-photorealistic styles. These styles use a mixture of
shaded, vector, and image based rendering techniques. They are generally best
suited to small models and small output images.
NOTE The Standard rendering styles require multiple stages to render a scene.
Therefore, these styles can often take a considerable time to render.
The Templates archive contains five main types of rendering style, which
can be used to define your own rendering styles:
■ Photorealistic (Raytrace). This archive contains photorealistic rendering
styles, including High Quality, Low Quality and Medium Quality
like the Recommended archive. These rendering styles are the fastest
and use the least memory where large parts of the model are obscured from
any particular viewpoint. For example, when inside a room within a
building, the walls of the room will obscure the rest of the building from
view.
■ Photorealistic (Scanline). This archive contains photorealistic rendering
styles, including High Quality, Low Quality and Medium Quality
like the Recommended archive. These rendering styles are the fastest
and use the least memory where most of the model is visible from any
particular viewpoint. For example, when rendering an overview of a plant
and process model, the majority of the model can be seen as there are
fewer walls, or similar, to obscure your view.
■ Simple Shaded. This template is a simple, shaded rendering style, where
advanced features, such as textures and transparency, are not required.
■ Sketch. This archive contains many basic sketch rendering styles.
NOTE Sketch rendering styles require multiple stages to render a scene.
Therefore, these styles can often take a considerable time to render.
■ Vector. This template is a vector rendering style, which will render the
scene in wireframe.
