Using the Material Palette's Raytracing Attributes (Available with 3D Canvas Pro)There are a number of material options that are only visible when a Snapshot or Video has been rendered with POVRay. POV-Ray is a Raytracing rendering engine that is available for free at www.povray.org. Rendering with POV-Ray is much slower than with Direct3D, however it produces more dynamic images with true shadows and reflections. Note that the lighting scheme for POV-Ray is slightly different than Direct3D so you may find that the final image produced by POV-Ray is somewhat darker, or brighter than the Direct3D produced image. Also, textures are not rendered properly unless you have the MegaPOV version of POV-Ray which is available at ftp.povray.org. There are also differences in interpretation of materials that may make your objects look somewhat different. General
