What are Render Effects?

Render effects are post-processing techniques applied to the final image or scene during the rendering process. These effects can significantly alter the appearance of your artwork, making it more visually appealing and immersive. In Foxel, you have access to a variety of render effects that can be customized to suit your creative vision.
