• Main toolbar > (Render Setup) > Render Setup dialog > Render Elements panel > Render Elements rollout > Add button > Render Elements dialog > Add one or more mr A&D elements to the elements list (or highlight an mr A&D entry in the list).
• Rendering menu > Render Setup > Render Setup dialog > Render Elements panel > Render Elements rollout > Add button > Render Elements dialog > Add one or more mr A&D elements to the elements list (or highlight an mr A&D entry in the list).

Multiplier

Scales the brightness of the output.

Tip: When rendering A&D elements for compositing in Autodesk Combustion, bear in mind that Combustion does not support HDR imagery, so to avoid clamping it will be necessary to adjust the Multiplier value for each element.

Apply Shadows

When on, the output includes shadows cast on the surface.
