Rendering is the act of converting the scene information into a bitmap image by evaluating all the geometry and lighting information in a given file. Generally, you would expect the resulting rendered image to be a fully ray traced and shaded image with full shadows, reflection and the like, much like a photograph depicts an entire scene when taking a picture with a camera. The following sections provide detailed information about the rendering process and Modo's render settings. Click any of the links below to navigate to that topic.
