3D Renderer
Displays a 3D geometry
They are classed in 3 categories :
Surface : Display a surface on 3D Generator The 3d generator of a 3D Layer represents a source of geometry. Read More constituted of triangles
Lines : Display lines on 3D Generator The 3d generator of a 3D Layer represents a source of geometry. Read More having splines informations
Points : Display the points (vertex) of any 3D Generator The 3d generator of a 3D Layer represents a source of geometry. Read More
Some of the Smode primitives will be able to be displayed only by certain types of renderers (such as Splines or Particles). Hopefully some Operator Modifiers Change existing geometry. Can generate or change points / lines / surfaced on 3D layers (3D Generator) Read More allows you to use any renderer on any geometry. Like generating faces and lines on Particles systems with the
Connect Points
Connect Points to generate splines in order to display lines

.But here is a little schematic to explain that properly :
Parameters to all 3D Renderers
- Opacity (Percentage) : Opacity of the 3d renderer
- Effects (List of Fragment Modifiers) : Effects of the 3d renderer
- Blending Mode (Blending Mode) : How this 3d renderer gets blended
- Depth Buffer (Renderer Depth Settings) : Depth-buffer related settings
-
Auto Illuminate (Percentage) : Auto illumination of the 3d renderer, no more illumination from lights, useful for camera mapping with
UV Camera Mapping
Remap UV of a mesh using a Camera

Point renderers:
Simple Points - A light renderer to display points and look like a square
Sprite Points - Display point using any kind of
2D Layer
A single 2D Layer

as map
Ball Points - Display points of a geometry with spheres
Box Points - Display points of a geometry with Boxes
Vertex Referential - Display normal, tangents ans bi-tangents of geometry's vertices
Line renderers:
Wireframe Lines - Simple wire-frame Lines with not much options
Thick Lines - Wire-frame lines with many options and who can use any

as map
Tube Lines - Generate tubes over geometry edges
Surface renderers:
Surface - Display geometry's triangles as a surface
PBR Surface - Surface Physically-based rendering
Triplanar Mapping - Define a mixture of one / three or six textures corresponding to the X, Y and Z local axis.
Gradient Colorizer - Apply a ObjectAny object inside Smode to colorize fragments according to a Geometry Mask Preset Simple presets of 3D Mask Read More
3D Texture - Define colors via a native 3D Texture
Geometry Mask Preset - Simple presets of 3D Mask 3D masks enable selecting 3D vertices based on their different attributes such as position, color and texture coordinate. Read More
AutoIlluminate Surface - Display geometry's triangles as a AutoIlluminate surface
Surface renderers:
Multiple Renderer - Combine and adjust the way you organize a chain of modifiers and you display your geometry
Other:
Group 3D Renderer - Group several 3D Renderer Displays a 3D geometry Read More
