AGI32 can consider specular reflections in a rendering by assigning a specularity in percent to appropriate surfaces. This allows materials such as glass, professional tile and mirror to appear realistic in a rendered view. Advanced techniques such as glossiness and soft shadows can also be applied. Ray-tracing can be applied to any single viewpoint or batched with multiple viewpoints and be automatically saved as a JPG or BMP image. 2006 Ray Trace Contest Winner – Paul Boken Any AGi32 rendering can be animated by recording a series of viewpoints while using AGi32’s interactive viewing commands. The animation path is then computed with adjustable walk speed and pause capability. Animations can be created with multiple scenes, frame sizes and opening and closing frames. An interactive preview function makes it easy to create successful animations. It is also possible to ray trace all frames to make a truly professional production. The end result is an AVI animation that can be viewed on any computer independent of AGi32. 2006 Ray Trace Contest People’s Choice Animation – Peer Eric Moldvar AGi32 can produce output in many ways, for example: anything you see in AGi32’s Normal construction mode can be printed in WYSIWYG fashion and all calculations can be exported to DXF for integration with your cad software furniture. Renderings can be exported to single bitmap images (JPG, BMP) or to completely interactive VRML worlds. And -renderings can also be animated and saved as AVI movie files for playback independently on any computer. However, all of these methods aside, it is the AGi32 Page Builder function that provides the ability to produce printed or electronic output containing your choice of calculation and visualization views for a true complete presentation. With Page Builder you can select any media size and number of pages to hold your project presentation. Take a few minutes to create a series of master templates containing your logos and title blocks (bitmaps too) to be used anytime. Then call up a template and place your various point by point views, schedules, and visualizations on the various pages. You can also incorporate external files (TXT) for disclaimers if required. When complete, either print/plot or export to PDF* or MDI. *PDF writer required.
