Natural lighting is made easy using the global illumination features of the Advanced Render module.
Global Illumination leads to new levels of realism by simulating the natural behavior of light.
The caustics feature improves the realism of scenes that use curved reective or transparent objects.
Place marbles or a glass on a table and patterns of light will appear on the tablecloth. For added
realism, with Advanced Render you can recreate these effects with ease.
Effects
Use this page to control which post effects are rendered. To choose a post effect, click the Post Effect
button in the top right corner of the dialog and choose the desired effect from the menu that appears.
The effect will be added to the list below the Enable Post Effects option.
To remove post effects from the list, select their names in this list (using Shift-click) and press the
Backspace key. You can also delete effects using Remove Selected and Remove All (Post Effect
button).
To switch off a post effect, click its check mark. Click the check box to switch the effect back on.
The order of the post effects is important. For example, if you sharpen before
you soften, the result is different to softening rst. To move a lter up or down
the list, select the lter’s name in the list and click the up or down triangle near
the top right corner of the dialog.
Click the up or down triangle to move the selected lter up or down the list.
Some of the post effects are applied in a certain order regardless of their position in the post effects
list. First applied is Glow, followed by Object Motion Blur / Vector Motion Blur, Soft Filter / Sharpen
Filter / Median Filter. The Remote and Scene Motion Blur effects are always applied last. Color
Correction and Cel Renderer are applied during rendering.
