Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "To take a look at the first of the scene files that we will be working with throughout the duration of this book, you may want to load the Daylight_Interior_01.skp file from the Exercise Files folder that have been provided as a downloadable resource."

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Open up the Indirect Illumination rollout".
