Did you know TracePro features a powerful ray sorting capability?

Did you know TracePro features a powerful ray sorting capability? Many times, after a raytrace is finished, the screen is full of rays, making initial analysis difficult.

Ray sorting allows you to sort rays based on specific criteria, such as showing only rays that hit a particular surface, or only specular rays, or only rays that have been scattered multiple times.

Rays can also be sorted by wavelength, source, percentage of starting rays, and percentage of flux values.

Ray sorting allows you to clean up or simplify the ray display and see the only the rays you are interested in.

Ray Sorting also works with some of the analysis tools in TracePro. For example, you can use Ray Sorting and the Irradiance/Illuminance Map to show the distribution of light of a certain wavelength on a surface, or the distribution of scattered light on a surface.

TracePro’ s ray sorting tool gives users the power and flexibility to see the rays and the raytrace results the way they need to.
