saved and rendered later using a command line batch renderer. Users with
programming experience can also edit the SDL file to change how it will
render.
Rendering types
To decide which rendering type is required for your work, you must decide
on the look you want.
Hidden-line - This rendering type produces an outline rendering of the scene
and renders objects using flat unshaded color.
Raycast - This rendering type produces a smooth shaded rendering of the
scene that includes shadowing capabilities. Raycasting is faster than Raytracing,
but lacks the extra realism added by true reflections and refractions. If
necessary, reflections can be simulated in a Raycast rendering using
environment maps and linear transparency. For long animations, Raycasting
is often used to keep the rendering time for each frame short.
