nXtRender 4.0 Features

nXtRender 4.0 added these new features:


Indirect Lighting

Indirect Lighting refers to the IRender nXt feature of processing light reflected from mirrors and other surfaces.

This creates a realistic lighting effect which improves with each successive rendering pass. Indirect should be used with most interiors scenes to soften the lighting effects.

Incorporate the effects of reflected light, such as the reflected cove lighting above this suspended ceiling.



Self Glow

Self Glow illuminates a surface as if it had light shining on it, without actually making it a light. For objects which you want to appear bright, but which don't need to illuminate other objects, this is much faster than making lights out of them.
