Updated Render Engine
Shine now supports full 32-bit floating-point rendering for creating the most realistic light rays. Shine always renders floating-point quality and returns the highest bit depth possible for that host application and sequence or project settings.
Output in 32-bit mode can differ greatly, particularly if bright or overbright colors are specified in the Colorize controls. Here is an example of Shine output in 8-bit versus 32-bit rendering modes. Notice how the floating-point version on the right delivers an optically brighter looking image. The 8- and 16-bit output modes produce visually similar results, but the 16-bit output will look smoother and show little or no banding.
