It can do stuff like really shine through and bounce off surfaces, which is why you can see dimples and pores better, and the physical texture of things like fabrics. I have to admit that so far, other than for animation, I am quite underwhelmed by it.įrom my basic level understanding, it’s a physical based renderer, which means it is a lot more like real life than what iRay does as far as light interactions. Of course this coherent and reasonable request for information received the usual Daz Forum snarky & unhelpful response.įrom what I can gather it is of more use to animator / games people than folk who do static single renders. Things seem washed out in the Filament view and if I adjust the ISO or exposure value in tone mapping it will throw off my Iray render.Ĭan someone please explain the uses and purpose of this Filament draw style? It seems that adding them would just slow down the view?Īnd how are they added? What do they actually do? Do they make a Filament view seem more real?

I would really like to understand this more and what are the uses of the Filament packages sold in the store? It is nice that it shows things that texture shaded draw style does not, like the HDRI sky.

I am just wondering what its actual use is? It is better than texture shaded and not as detailed as iray.

I noticed in the new Daz update there is a filament draw style now. This is a discussion on what the Filament draw style is and what its uses are. This is the text of an opening post (not by me) on a thread in the technical Daz Forum requesting information about Filament, which has suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
