4. Re-render the scene

to see the changes.

5. Experiment with

different effects and

environments.


15/45

Rendering

Models Browser

The Models Browser alllows you to save models in libraries for future use. It also includes

a number of premade light sets, interior sets, furnitue, gates, lamps and other models.

Double-click a model to import it

into your scene. You must chose

whether to skip, overwrite, or merge

the model with your current scene.

Model BrowserExercise

File : 49-Room Full.evo

Select objects in the World Browser, then use the File > Save selected as model...

menu command to save selected objects to the Model Library.


17/45

Exercise: Insert Furniture

Exercise

Open the 50-Room Empty.evofile and insert the objects

shown from the models library, then render the scene.

File : 50-Room Empty.evo


18/45

Exercise: Light Sets

File : 51-Buckle.evo

Exercise

1. Open the 51-Buckle.evofile.

2. Open the Models Library.

3. Double-click a light set to select it.

4. Choose the Overwriteoption.

5. The light set appears as a group in

the World Browser. Select it and

press Deleteto remove the lights.

6. Continue to experiment with

applying and deleting light sets.

1. Build or import a 3D scene.

2. Add and position lights.

3. Apply materials to objects.4. Set the camera position and angle of view.

5. Choose a rendering method and resolution.

6. Choose an output format.

7. Launch the rendering.

Rendering Workflow


23/45

Perspective Camera

Rendering

To add a perspectivecamerato the scene,

select the camera icon in

the Modeling Toolbar.

The new camera appears

in the World Browser

and the cameras list.


24/45

LightsRendering

To add a light to the scene,

select the Light icon in the

Modeling Toolbar, thenposition the light in the

modeling views.

The new light appears in

the World Browser.


25/45

Light ShadersRendering

You must also assign a light

shader to the light using theShading Manger, or it will not

emit any light.

Press Ctrl+3to open the

Shading Manger

Render Current View

Rendering

Use box selection to render a region rather than the

entire scene. This is useful if you have already

completed rednering a large and high quality image,

and you make a change to one particular area.

File : 52-RenderRegion.evo

Press Ctrl + R to render the current view


28/45

Real Time RenderingRendering

Real time rendering provides a fast preview of the final rendering.

It also allows you to interact with the rendering in real time using

pan, zoom, and orbit. The drawback is that reflection, refraction,

and complex lighting elements are not calculated.


Press Alt + R to render in real time


29/45

Interactive Rendering

Rendering


Interactive Rendering uses real time rendering to provide an interactive

preview of the image, allowing you to evaluate lighting and materials, then

adds progressive ray tracing to produce the final rendering. This allows

you to decide whether to stop the rendering to make changes, or wait until

the final image is produced.


30/45

Browse RenderingsRendering

Rendering buffer:Preferences > General

File : 53-ArmChair.evo

The Renderings Browser displays

the most recent scenes rendered in

Evolve, allowing you to easily find,

save, and delete previous renderings.

Rendering Methods

Use the Render > Options

command to open the Rendering

window and select a Rendering

Method. Raytrace full provides a

photorealistic result.

Rendering Resolution

Use the Render > Options

window and select a Rendering

Resolution. The resolution

should be appropriate for the

final output device.

Shading ManagerRendering

Shading Manger (Ctrl+3)

The Shading Manager allows you to control

how objects in your scene are rendered.

Rendering


36/45

Rendering

Shading Manager: Surface Tab

The Surfacetab is used to apply visible surface effects known as shaders to objects in

your scene. Color, reflectance, transparency, and displacement shaders can be combined

to create custom materials. This tab is also used to apply texture spaces and labels.

Rendering


37/45

Shading Manager: Preview

Rendering

The Preview Window shows how your object will look when rendered with the selected

surface shaders. If you are modifying a material, be careful when clicking the Savebutton,

as this will overwrite the existing material shaders. Use Save as instead.

Rendering


38/45

Shading Manager: Light TabRendering

The Lighttab in the Shading Manager is used to assign light shaders to lights

that you have created using the Lighttool. Right-click on Lightto open the light

shader menu, and then choose the appropriate light source type for your scene.

Rendering


39/45

Ambient Light

An ambient light is a light source type that provides uniform

illumination, rather than coming from a specific source or direction.

Rendering

Tip: You should use at least one ambient light in your scene in order to

allow materials that have an ambient factor to be rendered correctly.

Rendering


40/45

Shading Manager: Image TabRendering

The Imagetab in the Shading Manager is used to assign foregrounds,

backgrounds, sketch styles, and environment maps.

Rendering


41/45

Radiosity simulates how light bounces off of objects in a

scene. It produces a high level of realism, but is slow.

Final Gather calculatesonly the first bouce of light off

each object. This is less accurate but much faster. Avoid

activating radiosity and final gather at the same time.

g

Shading Manager: Rendering Tab

The Renderingtab in the Shading Manager is used to apply advanced rendering

techniques such as radiosityand final gatherto the rendering calculation.

Rendering


42/45

g

Shading Manager: Output Tab

The Outputtab in the Shading Manager is where you can select the

output format for the rendering.

Rendering


43/45

g

Shading Manager: Globals Tab

The Globalstab in the Shading Manager is used to adjust the default settings for

lights, display units, and various rendering methods. It is also used to optimize the

rendering calculation so that it takes less time.
