The interactive renderer uses a fast and accurate depth-sorting algorithm for drawing solid, shaded surfaces as well as vectors. The interactive renderer is also capable of rendering highly detailed, complex models with very realistic surface illumination and shading, but at the expense of time and memory.

Parent Objects

View hints (sometimes).
