   Architects and engineers who deal with 3D rendering can use the
   book as a quick reference and detailed guide for efficiently
   applying rendering processes.


• Environmental elements — Effectively use environment maps, sky cylinders, procedural textures, and apply photorealistic atmospheric effects such as clouds and fog.

• Lighting — Apply different lighting techniques for rendering any interior or exterior scene, day or night, including sunset and twilight setups.

• Materials — Achieve photorealistic results by creating custom materials such as water, glass, trees, grass, brick, and stone.

• Advanced rendering — Learn advanced techniques for creating lighting solutions using ray tracing and particle tracing.

• Quality output — Get inside tips for generating quality still images, network rendering, panoramas, and 3D content in PDF files.
