Document Properties: Flamingo nXt

These settings apply to the current model only. There is a trade-off between the time required to complete a rendering, and the quality desired.

To change settings

On the Flamingo nXt menu, click Document Properties.

Materials

Use materials

Renders using materials created in Flamingo nXt and Rhino materials. Objects that have no material assignment render white.

Use object color

Renders using the colors assigned through Rhino object or layer color.

Note: Both Use materials and Use object color can be checked. In this case, objects that have materials assigned will use those materials. Other objects will render using their object or layer color.

Bounces

Reflective

Determines how many levels of reflections are permitted; in other words, how many times a light ray will reflect off objects. A setting of 0 disables reflections. Higher values cause longer rendering times.

Refractive

Determines how many levels of refractions are permitted; in other words, how many times a light ray will refract off objects. A setting of 0 disables refractions. Higher values cause longer rendering times.

Indirect

Determines how many levels of indirect light are permitted; in other words, how many times an indirect light ray will bounce off objects. A setting of 0 disables reflections. Higher values cause longer rendering times.
