Advanced Lighting Panel (Scanline Renderer)

The Advanced Lighting rollout lets you select one of the advanced lighting options that accompany the default scanline renderer: either the Light Tracer or Radiosity.

  • Main toolbar > (Render Setup) > Render Setup dialog > Assign Renderer rollout > Set Production to Default Scanline Renderer. > Advanced Lighting panel > Select Advanced Lighting rollout
  • Rendering menu > Render Setup > Render Setup dialog > Assign Renderer rollout > Set Production to Default Scanline Renderer. > Advanced Lighting panel > Select Advanced Lighting rollout

The Light Tracer provides soft-edged shadows and color bleeding for brightly-lit scenes such as outdoor scenes. Radiosity provides physically accurate modeling of the light in a scene.

Until you choose an advanced lighting option, the Advanced Lighting panel displays a single rollout, Select Advanced Lighting.
