Choose a setting which provides the best display quality while maintaining good performance:
Renders with OpenGL using the GPU on the video card, producing high-quality results, but lacking detailed
reflections and shadows. For most systems, this option is best for editing.
Renders using the CPU on the computer motherboard, with draft-quality reflections and shadows. If your system has a
powerful video card, the Interactive option may produce faster results.
Best reserved for final output, this option fully renders reflections and shadows. For more information, see Render a 3D
file for final output.
Tiles are temporarily drawn across the image during Ray Traced rendering. To interrupt the rendering process, click the mouse or
spacebar. To change the number of tiling passes, trading processing speed for quality, change the High Quality Threshold in the 3D preferences.
