General Features
- Includes realistic mathematically generated 3-D plants with seasonal variation,
giving realistic plants, shadows, and reflections.
- Works inside Rhino. Render changes to the model immediately. You never need to export or
start over.
- Includes radiosity technology providing unrivaled image quality and accuracy.
- Interactive raytrace and radiosity rendering.

Animation
- Viewpoint animation (for walk-through and fly-by animation).
- Sunlight animation for daily or seasonal shadow studies.
- Support for TGA, BMP, PCX, PNG, TIF and JPEG file formats.
Image Quality
- Combine raytracing and radiosity for highest quality images. Calculates light,
shadows, materials, transparency, diffusion, reflection, highlight, Angular Blend,
ClearFinish™, and refraction from a surface’s properties. Flamingo’s accurate lighting
modeling produces sophisticated effects and high-quality images.
- True specular reflection and transparency.
- Shadow casting from all light sources.
- Soft shadow edges, blurry reflection, and translucency.
- Refraction.
- Depth of field.
- Depth attenuation for transparent materials.
- Antialiasing with extensive user control.
- 24- or 32-bit color output (16.7 million colors plus alpha channel).
- Any resolution up to 16,000 by 16,000.
- WYSIWYG 256, 32,000, or 16.7 million color display.
