Character in the surface.
For non-metals, base colour describes diffuse colour. For metals, it colours the reflected light.
TECHNOLOGY / BEHIND THE IMAGE
Look a little
closer.
Materials give a surface character. Light gives it a place. Reconstruction helps form the picture.
Technology concepts, not a release feature list. LEMON for Rhino 9 is in development; supported capabilities will be confirmed after validation.

01 / MATERIAL RESPONSE
A surface is more than its colour.
Explore a clay study and a material study of the same design.
Drag the divider.
Look at the details.
Clarity in the reflection.
A smoother surface produces sharper reflections. A rougher surface spreads them.
Depth in the atmosphere.
Direct light reaches a surface from a source. Indirect light arrives after interacting with other surfaces.

Of the technology.
Super Resolution, anti-aliasing, ray reconstruction and neural rendering have different jobs. Explore them one at a time.
