What was the name for the older render engine?

New ibl implementation is incomplete.  We need to see the ibl image in the background to get a better integration between 3d and the image.
Another feature that i will like to see is the possibility to use my own HDRI files to bake the light into the scene.  Right now autocad 2016 only offers LDR images and they only work as image background, the scene still iluminates by your ibl templates.
What about ambient occlusion?  The render presets are too much simplified, what about advanced users that want to customize all the features that are important in the render like final gather bounces, GI, ambient occlusion and so on??
