Flamingo works seamlessly inside Rhino, and provides a host of features that speed up and simplify image rendering.
Filed Under Software Watch

- Viewpoint animation (for walk-through and fly-by animation). Sunlight animation for daily or seasonal shadow studies
- Combine raytracing and radiosity for highest quality images. Calculates light, shadows, materials, transparency, diffusion, reflection, highlight, Angular Blend, ClearFinish™, and refraction from a surface’s properties.
- Background options include solid color, gradient colors, alpha channel and image map.
- Distant, point, spot, linear, rectangular lights, goniometric, sun, ground, and sky. Accurate daylight simulation (sun, sky, ground, and cloud cover components). Exact solar time calculator. Shadow casting on/off by object.
- Extensive materials library. Assign materials by layer or object. Properties include reflectivity, transparency, highlight, and index of refraction.
- Extensive library with hundreds of fractal-generated 3-D plants including wet and dry climate plants, cold and warm climate plants, groundcover, and house plants.
