About Rendering Options

This page describes the Rendering Options dialog box, which appears when Rendering Options is selected.



Lens

Lens List
You can choose one of the Using Rendering Options as lens type from the list.
You can also choose the Custom option to customize the lens according to your needs. Therefore, the lens frame becomes dynamic, you can set the following parameters:

Focal Length
The value chosen by using the Up or Down arrows defines the focal length of the lens.
Focus

The following options help you to define the focus of the lens.

Autofocus
The focus is screen centered when the option is activated.
Plane in Focus
The value chosen by using the Up or Down arrows helps you to define the distance of plane in focus.
Important: This option is only available if Autofocus is not activated.
Selector
The option lets you define manually the focus.
Important: This option is only available if Autofocus is not activated.
Diaphragm List

The following options help you to define the diaphragm of the lens.

  • Circle

    Note: This option is set as default value for the option.

  • 5 blades
  • 6 blades
  • 7 blades
  • 8 blades.

Blades angle
The value chosen by using the Up and Down arrows helps you to define the position of the blades.
Important: You can only select a value if you chose 5, 6, 7 or 8 blades for the diaphragm.
F-Stop
The value chosen by using the Up and Down arrows helps you to define the diaphragm aperture.

Exposure

Exposure List
You can choose one of the Using Rendering Options as exposure type from the list.

Note that in some cases, when you change the type of exposure the screen can turn black. For example, if you choose the Classic Light exposure and then change to the Sunny exposure, the screen turns black. This is a normal behavior because the camera is set for indoor pictures and will thus be under-exposed.

You can also choose the Custom option to customize the exposure according to your needs. Therefore, the exposure frame becomes dynamic, you can set the following parameters:



Iso Sensitivity
The value chosen by using the Up and Down arrows helps you to define the ISO sensitivity.
Shutter Time
The value chosen by using the Up and Down arrows helps you to define the Shutter Time.
White Point

Click to choose a color.

Lighting

Lighting List
You can choose one of the Using Rendering Options as lighting type from the list.
You can also choose the Custom option to customize the lighting according to your needs. Therefore, the lighting frame becomes dynamic, you can set the following parameters:

Diffuse Lighting
Selecting this option enables you to have a rendering with a diffuse lighting.
Global Illumination
When activating this option, the following ones are available:
  • Photons: Using the Up or Down arrows helps you to define the photons for the global illumination.
  • Radius: Using the Up or Down arrows helps you to define the radius for the global illumination.
Caustics
When activating this option, the following ones are available:
  • Photons: Using the Up or Down arrows helps you to define the photons for the caustics.
  • Radius: Using the Up or Down arrows helps you to define the radius for the caustics.
Dispersion
When activating this option, the following one is available:
  • Wavelengths: Using the Up or Down arrows helps you to define the wavelengths for the dispersion.
  • Radius: Using the Up or Down arrows helps you to define the radius for the caustics.

You can choose one of the Using Rendering Options as resolution type from the list.
You can also choose the Custom option to customize the resolution according to your needs. Therefore, the resolution frame becomes dynamic, you can set the following parameters:

Orientation

The following options help you to define the layout for the resolution.

Portrait
The resolution is of a portrait format.
Landscape
The resolution is of a landscape format.
Width
The value chosen by using the Up and Down arrows helps you to define the width for the resolution.
Height
The value chosen by using the Up and Down arrows helps you to define the height for the resolution.
Tips:
  • If the Keep Image Ratio is open , you can change the width and the height values independently. The image ratio is not kept
  • If the Keep Image Ratio is closed , the values you give to the width or the height parameters change simultaneously in order to keep the image ratio.
Units
You can choose one of the following options as the unit for the resolution:
  • Pixels

    Note: This option is set as default value for the option.

  • cm
  • mm
  • Inches
DPI
The value chosen by using the Up and Down arrows helps you to define the DPI for the resolution.
Important: This option is not available when Pixels is chosen as the unit for the resolution.
