For industrial designers and rendering professionals who need to create self-lit objects commonly found in consumer electronics. The new emissive materials in Rhino’s render engine make objects glow and cast light onto other objects.

Unlike previous versions of Rhino, Emissive Materials allow you to simulate LEDs and create bloom effects. This material type can turn any object into a light.

Additionally, the glow can be later enhanced in the Post Effect panels, fine-tuning the result without the need to render the scene again…
