Interactive Rendering

The Interactive rendering modes are display modes that render your scene in real time, so you can interactively apply materials, modify the environment, and change the camera position.

Note:
  • The Interactive Rendering mode icons are in the bottom left of each modeling view near the other display mode icons.
