Render settings - pre-established settings in Strata 3D CX

Radiosity render settings

 When rendering any image, we can realize adjustments in the "Render" dialog box, to choose type of render want to use, and that parameters to obtain the best relation quality / time of render.
In "Renders" dialog box you can find render presetting (popup menu: "settings"), that you can use as point of start. From these " pre-established settings ", we can realize variations in the adjustments that help us to improve the quality and / or to reduce the rendering time.

In this page you can see a sample of all the types of render, realized with pre-established adjustments, as well as the time of render* for each of them (left side). To the right, we have changed lightly the adjustments, to obtain an image with better appearance, trying to reduce render times.
