Render Type

Click to display a list of the available renders. The list that displays depends on your preference settings. Click the render you want to use.

• Normal Render

• Schematic Render

• Ray Trace Render

  • If Ray Trace Render (Local - V-Ray) or Ray Trace Render (Remote - V-Ray) is selected, the Render Quality option is displayed.

    

    You may select Low, Medium, High, or Best. The higher the quality, the better the render and the longer it takes to produce the render.

    If Ray Trace Render (Local - Blender) or Ray Trace Render (Remote - Blender) is selected, the Render Quality (Cycles) option is displayed.

    

    Type in the number of cycles to a maximum of 500. The higher the number, the higher the quality of the render, and the more time it takes.

    A low number - for example, 10-50 - typically produces a grainy image in a short time. Such output is useful for testing the lighting and general previewing.

    A higher number - for example 300-500 - typically produces a smoother image, but takes a longer time. Such output is useful for final production.
