Render modes
Vertex/Face Normal Rendering - Activates the Vertex and Face Normal rendering mode. All
objects are rendered with green, blue, gold or magenta shading. Each color gives feedback
about the each normal direction. Only supported in Open GL render modes.
Green --> Face and Vertex Normals are consistent and directing towards the
camera.
Blue --> Face and Vertex Normals are consistent and directing away from the
camera.
Gold --> Face and Vertex Normals are inconsistent. The Face Normals are
directing away from the camera, while the Vertex Normals are directing towards
the camera.
Magenta --> Face and Vertex Normals are inconsistent. The Face Normals are
directing towards the camera, while the Vertex Normals are directing away from
the camera.
Discontinuity Rendering - Activates the discontinuity-rendering mode. The Discontinuity
Rendering mode helps to evaluate surface qualities. Cracks can easily be noticed. Only
supported in Open GL render modes.
Ambient Occlusion Rendering - Activates the Ambient Occlusion rendering mode. The
Ambient Occlusion rendering shows a grayscale rendering, in which the pre-calculated ambient
occlusion can be evaluated. Only supported in Open GL render modes.
Indirect Illumination rendering - Activates the Indirect Illumination rendering mode. The
Indirect Illumination rendering shows a grayscale rendering, in which the pre-calculated
indirect illumination can be evaluated. Only supported in Open GL render modes.
NPR Mode - Activates the Non-Realistic rendering mode. The NPR rendering is an Open GL
render mode, which allows users to render schematic images. The NPR shading supports
outline rendering.
Analytic Low Quality - Activates the Analytic Low Quality rendering mode. The Analytic Low
Quality rendering mode is an Open GL render mode. In this render mode only basic shading
structures are activated and real-time shadows are deactivated. The Analytic Low Quality
rendering ensures high frame rates at a low visual quality. Reflections are disabled.
