Real Time Rendering
Introduction to Real Time Rendering (RTR) Real Time Rendering (RTR) enables designers to interactively create realistic and dynamic renderings and animations in real-time. The user can dynamically create and manipulate materials, lights and environments and immediately view the result of any modification.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES
Some more highlights of Real Time Rendering are listed below: Realistic and dynamic renderings through the creation and manipulation of materials, lights, environments and Stickers Advanced rendering capabilities like improved reflections, ground shadows or adaptive texture mapping Ability to define reusable scene settings Simple and powerful animation capabilities Virtual reality capabilities Offers the same ease of use and user interface consistency as all CATIA V5 applications

About Environment What is an environment? To make your image more realistic, you need to place the object you want to render in a context. The environment is a geometry which will surround your object and will help you to create the context by applying textures to it.

Which environments can I use? CATIA Real Time Rendering provides 4 different types of environment: A box A sphere A cylinder A predefined environment using the Realviz software Stitcher

Instructor Notes:

Real Time Rendering
Light Sources Light sources are not just used to light up the environment and make the object visible. By generating shadows and illumination variations on the object surface, they give the image an effect of relief and make it more realistic. Types of lights Real Time Rendering are:
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES
Point Light
A Point light: It scatters light in all directions from a given point like an electric lamp. A Directional light: The light reaches the scene in the form of parallel rays as if it had been emitted by a plane. It simulates a light emitted by a very distant source such as the sun. A Spot light: It projects a cone of light from a given point to a given direction. It is the only type of light source which concentrates light rays on a specific part of the scene. It is thus very useful to highlight details.
Directional Light
E.g.: Bulb
E.g.: Sun
Spot Light
E.g.: Lamp
Only a directional light allows to generate a shadow in Real Time Rendering.

Real Time Rendering
What are Materials? A material is a set of properties used by the rendering engine to shade an object’s surface.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES
A material consists of a set of channels such as Color Luminance Reflection Transparency Specular Bump Together, these define the surface’s basic qualities, and their combination can simulate a wide variety of substances, like glass, metal, plastics, fabrics and even organic matter, such as foliage.
Instructor Notes:

Real Time Rendering
What are textures? Textures are used to control many different attributes of a surface to produce different effects in rendering.
Examples of a leather, bricks & wood textures
Textures are mapped on a surface by following mapping techniques Planar Mapping

About Bump Mapping A bump texture map is simply a grayscale image applied to the Bump channel of a material.
A Bump map applied to a model with different bump values.
When the material is applied to an object and rendered, areas that are white in the bump map are rendered as surface protrusions, and areas that are black as depressions.
Copyright DASSAULT SYSTEMES
All shades in between represent a variety of bump depths, with 50% gray being perfectly flat.

•OpenGL shaders are not taken into account when computing rendered images.
Note that in the catalog of materials, some shaders are provided. You can recognize them with the ISL logo
•OpenGL shaders support only standard light sources (Lighting panel) and directional light sources. Other light sources have no impact on the shaders.
