Realtime graphics rendering is what a lot of games and such do, where it's
calculating where stuff is and should be on the fly and displays it then
and there.
Non realtime rendering is when the computer crunches all the numbers of the
rendering and saves it in a format that can be read by a player of some
sort. Varies by type, but it could do it into a Quicktime mov or fli or
something along those lines.
Back in the day, before computers got tremendously powerful, most people
were doing non-realtime because it took time to calculate all the stuff.
These days, though, even a $400 computer can do real-time pretty well.
