\n – Waving Plants.
\n – FXAA (anti-aliasing).
\n – Sharp\/Soft Shadows.
\n – CSM (Cascaded Shadow Mapping). *****
\n – Dynamic colored lighting. *****
\n – Ray-Traced block-light shadows. *****
\n – Volumetric fog lighting.
\n – POM (Parallax Occlusion Mapping).
\n – Normal Mapping.
\n – Specular (shininess).<\/p>\n
***** Feature only available with Iris 1.6 or later!<\/p>\n
