Photorealistic Rendering

LightTools' fully featured, high-speed photorealistic rendering engine is a standard part of the software, which enables designers to generate high-quality images of LightTools models that appear to be digital photographs. You can apply surface finishes from an extensive built-in library and set backgrounds. A key aspect of the LightTools photorealistic renderer is its ability to include lit appearance; that is, to show the luminance effects of light sources contained within the model itself. These photoreal views can be produced in any aspect ratio, with resolution limited only by system memory, and saved in standard graphics file formats, including PNG, BMP, JPG, and TIFF, as well as high-dynamic range formats, such as HDR and OpenEXR.
