For example, ray-tracing takes a mathematical model of a three-dimensional object or scene and converts it into a bitmap image. system from LightWork Design into its new solidThinking(R) 3.0 for Windows 95/NT. solidThinking is an award-winning full NURBS-based 3D modeling and rendering environment previously available exclusively on the OpenStep operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. . By integrating the LightWorks Pro rendering engine, solidThinking for Windows will provide a comprehensive rendering system for the most advanced of graphics professionals. LightWorks Pro includes all industry-leading rendering techniques -- radiosity, ray-tracing and scan-line rendering. It is the highest level of the four-level LightWorks rendering system and contains the full feature set. LightWorks Pro provides expanded hybrid rendering, so that for the first time solidThinking for Windows users can combine radiosity with multi-threaded ray-tracing and scan-line rendering to produce photo-realistic images with greater accuracy in less time.
