Turtle Render Overview

• Final Gather and Global Illumination
• “Indirect Lights” to control the shape of the GI-solution
• Advanced pass system – any shader can be a seperate pass
• Ambient and Reflection Occlusion
• HDRI and Image Based Lighting
• New 3D Motion Blur
• Glossy Refractions & Reflections
• Adaptive pre-tessellation of displacement maps
• Micropolygon displacement at render-time
• Render polymeshes as subdivision surfaces
• New Unified Super Sampler: Combine 3D mb/glossy/DOF as efficiently as possible
• Anti-aliasing with advanced edge tracing
• Direct compatibility with ZBrush displacement and normal maps
• Lua script shaders
• Environment Map Camera
• Output shaders
• Realistic material shaders (such as Oren Nayar)
• Fast subsurface scattering with support for blocking geometries

Turtle Baking Overview

• Renderview Baking
• Renderview Surface Transfer
• Directional Occlusion Mapping
• Radiosity Normal Mapping
• Spherical Harmonics
• Polynomial Texture Maps
• Programmable baking
• Batch baking with adaptive texture resolutions
• Different render passes, including albedo
• Custom shader for all baking needs
