Object Options

• Double Sided Shading:

  This tells the renderer to apply the object material to both sides of the polygon. This is required for glass materials to render properly.

• SPPM Photon Target:

  This flag indicates that the object should be a ‘target’ for the photons emitted from lamps in SPPM render mode. Targeting a glass object with strong caustic effects this way can reduce rendering noise.

• Nested Glass Priority:

  This allows you to set the priority for this object where it intersects with another object. A higher number equals a higher priority (i.e. 2 takes precedence over 1). This allows you to correctly render intersecting media like fluid in a glass.

• Shadow Terminator Fix:

  This dial adds a correction to shadows generated by the object. With low poly objects it can help remove ‘jaggy’ shadows.

• SSS Set:

  A user can assign this object to an existing SSS set by selecting it here.

• Ray Visibility Flags:

  These flags determine if an object is visible to specific ray types during rendering.

• Object Alpha:

  This allows a user to determine the transparency of an object. The parameter can also be driven by a texture map, allowing for cutout effects like leaves.

• Motion Blur:

  This flag determines if a deforming object will be rendered with deformation motion blur.

• Object Export:

  This option allows an object to be used as a proxy for a pre-existing appleseed archive assembly. The assembly will replace the object in the scene at render time.
