Ray Tracing
Toolbag’s Ray Tracing mode achieves photorealism by simulating the physical behavior of light on all types of materials. Advanced path tracing techniques are used to maximize quality and accuracy, making it the preferred choice in rendering for product and architectural visualization, film art, and high-end game art.
Hybrid
Hybrid mode delivers the perfect fusion of interactivity and high image quality. It separates the processing of lighting passes—such as shadows, global illumination, and reflections—allowing each to be independently denoised. This delivers a smoother, more realistic rendering experience, similar to a game engine.
Raster
Preview your art in real-time with Raster mode and emulate your traditional game engine results with instant feedback. Raster is the default render mode, and perfect for quick iteration when performance is key.
