Normal (CineRender Surface Channel)

This surface channel produces a virtual surface irregularity that is lit realistically. This entails technique called Normal Mapping (as opposed to Bump mapping). Normal mapping makes it possible to give a low-poly object (an object with a low level of detail) a detailed, seemingly structured ...

Fog (CineRender Surface Channel)

These parameters enable you to simulate fog or gas clouds. Objects with such surfaces are translucent, but weaken the light that shines through them according to their density.   Use fog surfaces with closed objects only. Fog is a volume effect applied to the inside of an object. ...
