14、er. The objective is not to control all the parameters of the image, but to create quickly a realistic image from the 3D viewer display.,Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002,16,Computation parameters: Default parameters have been predefined to help the user to get quickly a realistic image. If an active

15、 environment has been defined by the user, it will be taken into account by the Quick Render. If active lights exist in the session, they will be taken into account. If no light is active, a default light positioned at the current view point will be used. The image destination file can be defined in

16、 the settings. A precise size in pixels can be defined for the image in the settings. Applying material: If a material is applied to a part being instanced in the product, all the instances will have the same attributes. Ex: the buttons You can also apply the material to the instance itself so that

17、the same part has different effects in the image, depending on its instance.,Additional Information .,Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002,17,Environment Management,In this lesson you will learn how to manage the scene environment What about environment?

32、,31,What about light sources?,Light sources are not just used to light up the environment and make object visible.

33、io? “Ponctual” light sources: A Spot light:It projects a cone of light from a given point to a given direction. It is the only type of light source which concentrates lights rays on a specific part of the scene. It is thus very useful to highlight details. A Point light:It scatters light in all dire

34、ctions from a given point like an electric lamp. A Directional light:The light reaches the scene in the form of parallel rays as if it had been emitted by a plane.

The parameters are sorted in 4 categories: The Frame parameters:You will define the scene (which environment, which camera, which light sources), the resulting image size and location. The Quality parameters:You will define the rendering quality parameters. These par

46、ameters will have a big influence on the computation time required for your image.

To avoid this deformation, define the ratio of the image size equal to the 3D viewer ration.,Select Frame,Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002,43,Additional Information .,What is ray tracing? Ray tracing is a standard imagery mode. It is used by CATIA Photo Studio to crea

50、te realistic images. How does it work? The image is divided in squares of pixels. The size of the squares is defined by the user. Ray tracing consists in calculating the color at each corner of each square of the image, considering a light ray from that corner in the direction in which the objects a

51、re viewed (camera viewing direction), following that ray until it hits an object. If that object is reflective, the reflected ray is traced until it hits another object, and so on. The maximum number of reflections for a ray is one of the quality parameters. If the object is transparent, the ray is

52、traced as it crosses the object. Each time the ray meets an object, the characteristics of the object are read at the point of incidence (color, reflection mode, transparency, etc.) in order to deduce the color of the corner of the pixel where the ray came from.,Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002,44,M

Final Gathering he

55、lps to create very realistic imaging by creating very soft shadows. The general principal is that the light striking the object is not only computed from the light sources but also from the other elements composing the scene, as in real life! How does it work? Light rays are sent from the objects po

56、ints and, as the light bounces from one object to another, the light energy is computed on any surfaces surrounding the object. This is what is called indirect illumination. The user has to define the number of rays that will be sent at random from each pixel to calculate the indirect illumination f

57、actor. It will be multiplied by the material diffuse parameter coefficient.As a consequence, no indirect illumination will be computed for materials with a null diffuse value. To improve performances, the user can use an interpolation algorithm from one pixel to another instead of computing real fin

58、al gathering for each point.Maximum radius parameter defines the maximum distance between a point having a real final gathering computation result and an interpolated one.Minimum radius defines the minimum distance between two points having a real final gathering computation.Increasing the maximum r

59、adius reduces the computation time, but can create artefacts due to the interpolation process.,Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002,46,Additional Information .,Computation result without activating the final gathering,Computation result with activation of the final gathering,Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES 2002,47,Select Indirect Illumination,Defining the indirect illumination parameters,Activate the use of the final gathering for the imag
