Exploring Render Mode

This chapter is from the book

Review answers

  1. Ray tracing refers to the rendering method used by the rendering engine built into Dimension. Ray tracing performs complex mathematical calculations to determine the precise color of each pixel in the scene.

  2. Dimension performs rendering in three places: the on-canvas preview, the Render Preview window, and Render mode.

  3. No. Reflections cast by objects on the ground plane, and cast by objects on other objects, will not appear in the on-canvas preview.

  4. Because it renders as quickly as possible, the render preview displays a lot of noise, especially in shadows.
