ZbornToy

The Design of ZbornToy has the amount of parameters reduced to a minimum, while still providing a vast amount of control over every Aspect of it. The goal has been to achieve the performance and feel of a full blown render engine when it comes to the results. Yet it is ment to be not only easily accessible, but fast and fluent so that it is fun and even playful to use. Lighting supports shadows and soft shadows and is kept within the plugin for a maximum portability to other compositing packages that support after effects plugins. Sources of light are by means of a direct light, a point light and environmental illumination. The environmental illumination is based on panoramic or spherical maps. It includes occlusion approximations and Independent reflection settings. The reflection is directly tied together with the shading section and gets diffused and colored according the surface definitions.
