Online. Settings - Rendering Page Published on Tuesday, July 8, 1997 by Gideon Ariel Setting Description General Presentation interval The maximum rate at which a scene can be rendered. Select Default or Immediate. Default: The driver waits for the vertical retrace period. Operations are not affected more frequently than the screen refresh rate, at most. Immediate: the runtime updates the window client area immediately, and might do so more than once during the adapter refresh period. Z-Buffer A Z-Buffer is a buffer that stores a depth value for each pixel in the scene. Pixels with a small Z-value overwrite pixels with a large Z-value. There should be no reason to uncheck this unless you have an older video card that does not support Z-buffers. Fog This setting will create an illusion of depth. An exponential fog will draw objects that are closer to the viewer more vivid than objects that are farther away. This setting enables or disables fog blending and the fog density for pixel or vertex fog used in exponential fog modes. Stick figures Reflection gain A reflection of the activity in the ground plane is rendered at a lower intensity than the activity itself. A default gain of 0.30 means that the intensity of the reflection will be rendered at 30% of the intensity of the activity itself. Segment history gain "from" The start point of a segment is rendered at a lower intensity than the point itself. A default gain of 0.40 means that the intensity of the start point of a segment will be rendered at 40% of the intensity of the point itself. Segment history gain "to" The end point of a segment is rendered at a lower intensity than the point itself. A default gain of 0.70 means that the intensity of the end point of a segment will be rendered at 70% of the intensity of the point itself. Point trail - motion blur Number of points Number of points trailing a point of the activity. Duration (number of frames) Duration (in frames) over which the above number of points are spread out.
