3Delight's 'renderdl' Command Line*

Offline rendering can also be launched using 3Delight’s standalone renderer renderdl provided the scene have been exported to a NSI File. When rendering using the command line renderdl, many parameters are supported to further control aspects of the rendering process. The following command lists the available parameters:
