is a 3D rendering application which allows you to generate photo-realistic models and 3D images based on the LightWorks rendering engine.
The program offers seven levels of rendering: flat, Gouraud, Phong, preview z-buffer, full z-buffer, preview ray-trace, and full ray-trace.
You can create transparencies, reflections, refractions, decals, and custom shadings, which can be applied to any form-Z object during the ray-trace rendering stage.
Although the application was primarily designed for rendering objects, you can easily use it to create form-Z objects before you render them.
You can utilize one or more lights (distant, cone, point, or projector), which can appear to glow within images.
Both procedural and pre-captured textures are offered, and can be mapped onto the surfaces of objects using five different mapping methods: flat, cubic, cylindrical, spherical, or parametric.
Libraries with predefined materials are included, and can be easily extended and customized.
Images can be rendered (also partially) and saved in a variety of sizes and resolutions to a maximum of 16,000 x 16,000 pixels.
In addition, Imager, a utility which is incorporated in the program, can be used to batch render sequences of images whose viewing and rendering parameters are previously set and saved.
