Flamingo is one of the best for raytrace and radiosity rendering inside Rhino. It is easy to use, works seamlessly inside Rhino, and provides a host of features that speed and simplify image rendering. Using raytracing and radiosity, this will create sophisticated single-frame images and animations.

Flamingo also supports multiprocessors and background processing. Includes mathematically to generated 3-D plants with seasonal variation, giving realistic plants, reflections, and shadows. Post-processing for quick adjustment of fog, glare, glow, wireframe, and depth of field.

Flamingo calculates shadows, light, materials, diffuse, transparency, reflection, highlight, refractment, angular blend, and ClearFinish™ from surface properties. Flamingo’s accurate lighting model produces sophisticated effects and high-quality images. Extensive library with hundreds of fractal-generated 3-D plants including wet and dry climate plants, cold and warm climate plants, groundcover, and house plants.
