+===== Lighting =====
+Since v0.8.4.2314 lighting and iso surface detection is also supported.
+To activate lighting for a volumetric mesh, please use:
+<file pascal>
+GorillaVolumetricMesh1.UseLighting := true;
+</file>
+After it was activated, the implemented functions try to detect a surface from the given 3D data.
+This is called IsoSurface detection.
+Because this method always depends on the data, you can control this detection by **IsoSurfaceLimit** property.
+{{:0.8.4:vr_isosurf.jpg?nolink&600|}}
+<file pascal>
+GorillaVolumetricMesh1.IsoSurfaceLimit := 0.125;
+</file>
+When detection of a volume surface was successful, we are able to apply lighting with all available shading models to it.
+The volumetric mesh therefore allows to choose between: Lambert, Phong, Blinn-Phong and PBR.
+{{:0.8.4:vr_lighting.jpg?nolink&600|}}
+<file pascal>
+GorillaVolumetricMesh1.ShadingModel := TGorillaShadingModel.smPBR;
+</file>
+__Notice:__ For PBR (physically based rendering) it does not need any PBR texture, instead it will use the //AOBias//, //RoughnessBias// and //MetallicBias// properties.

+===== Filtering and MipMaps =====
+Since v0.8.4.2314 switching between nearest and linear filtering is supported.
+You are also able to activate MipMaps, but in most test cases the result was unsatisfying.
+{{:0.8.4:vr_filtering.jpg?nolink&600|}}
+The picture above is showing difference between nearest (left) and linear (right) filtering.
+In most cases linear filtering is the expected output, but for some customers exact display of 3D data values is necessary.
+<file pascal>
+GorillaVolumetricMesh1.LinearFiltering := true;
+GorillaVolumetricMesh1.MipMaps := true;
+</file>
