Flamingo brings the raytrace and radiosity rendering inside Rhino. This plug-in includes:


Rendering

Photometrically accurate images with reflections, refraction, diffusion, translucency, transparency, color bleeding, hard and soft shadows, depth of field, depth attenuation, and indirect lighting.

Flamingo 2.0 First you need to choose the rendering:

From the toolbar -> Render -> Current renderer -> a. Flamingo Raytrace 2.0 - used for normal rendering, and medium quality when using texture. b. Flamingo Photometric 2.0 - used for photo realistic rendering, highest quality when using texture.

Type Options, and follow to Document Properties -> Flamingo. Choose the Rendering resolution according to your needs.

In the Document Properties -> Flamingo -> Advanced menu, mark the Soft shadows, for better rendering shadows - slower rendering time

Everything else leave as it is.

Materials

Drag and drop from an extensive material library with user controllable properties including defuse color, reflections, refraction, translucency, transparency, depth attenuation, bitmap textures with tiling and masking, procedural 2-D and 3-D materials, ClearFinish™, and angular blend.


Lighting

Lighting options include directional, point, spot, linear, rectangular, and goniometric lights, sun, ground, sky, and global illumination using a light dome or an HDR image.


Other features

Procedural clouds, fractal-generated 3-D plants, progressive-refinement for quick preview, RPC support, Piranesi EPix support, and extensive plant and background libraries.


Performance

See Flamingo Performance Tuning.
