Rendering a Scene

You can optimize the rendering computation through the Stellar render engine. This engine is equivalent to the Photoreal engine but is developed by Dassault Systèmes.

Stellar options are available only when the Stellar render mode is activated in the Interactive - Rendering section. By default, the render settings are defined so that you can expect a good rendering in an average scenario (like outdoor or indoor rendering).

    The currently active render settings that is, the last selected preset and the last edited custom parameters are stored in the preferences. This means that they are restored when the app is restarted.

    You can use predefined profiles with different quality levels. These profiles are intended for users who are not familiar with rendering parameters, by allowing them to quickly select the most adapted configuration. When a profile is selected, parameters available below are tuned accordingly.
