Render Output

Safe Frame – Displays a visual cue in the viewport, showing the expected render output area. If there is a difference in aspect ratio between the viewport and image size, this button toggles the safe frame overlay on and off.

Image Width/Height – Specifies the width and height of the rendered image, in pixels. If stereo is enabled, this represents the size of the image for one eye only.

Aspect Ratio– Sets the proportional relationship between height and width of the rendering in the V-Ray frame buffer. The listed Aspect Ratio options can be grouped in three types.

The first one consists of a number of common aspect ratio presets:

16:9 - Widescreen 
1:1 - Square 
4:3 - Picture 
5:4 - Landscape 
4:5 - Portrait 

The second type is the Match Viewport.

The third type is Custom. When the Custom aspect ratio is chosen, it can be locked/unlocked.

Match Viewport and Custom options provide additional menus for further control.

Aspect Width/Height – Shows the current dimensions of the viewport. Changes to the viewport dimensions are shown only after the Update button is pressed.

Update – Sets the Aspect Width and Height to the dimensions of the current viewport.

Image Width/Height – Specifies the width and height of the rendered image, in pixels. If stereo is enabled, this represents the size of the image for one eye only.

Lock/Unlock - When this button is unlocked, you can freely choose the width and height pixel size instead of being permanently locked to a specific aspect

Aspect Width/Height – Sets the width and height of the custom aspect. The Lock/Unlock button allows you to freely choose width and height pixel size instead of being permanently locked to a specific aspect.

Output Layout – Specifies the placement/arrangement of the left and right eye images. Selects the layout type based on the software/hardware that is used for viewing the result.

Side - by - Side – Positions the images horizontally.
Top - Bottom -- Positions the images vertically.

Width/Height – The value here is not editable and is double the above Image Width/Height parameter to render both the left and right eyes.

Save Image – Enables you to set or change the File Path.

File Path – Specifies the file location and type to save the rendered image.

File Type – Specifies the image file format. The following file type options are available: png, bmp, tga, hdr, sgi, jpg, exr, pic, tif, vrimg.

Single File Output – When enabled only the main channel of the rendered image is saved to a file. This is either RGB Color or effectsResult. Other render elements are not saved as additional files. The option is ignored when file type is set to vrimg or multichannel exr.

Alpha – Determines how the Alpha channel is handled. This option is available for the following formats: .png, .tga, .sgi, .exr, .pic, and .tif.

No Alpha – No Alpha channel is saved. The background is visible even if the output image format supports transparency.
Include Alpha – The Alpha channel is saved as image Alpha or Transparency depending on the file format. 
Separate Alpha – The Alpha channel is saved as a separate file. 

Compression Level – Specifies the image compression level for the .png file type.

Bits per Channel – Specifies the amount of data per channel for the .png, .sgi, .exr, and .tif file types. The following options are possible depending on the file type:

8 bits
16 bits
16 bits (half-float)
32 bits

Compression – Specifies the image compression type for the .tga and .exr file types. The following options are possible depending on the file type:

Default
No compression 
Run-length 
RLE
ZIPS
ZIP
PIZ
pxr24

Quality(%) – Specifies the image quality as a percentage when saving with the .jpg file type.

Multichannel – When saving the output as an .exr, enables the render elements to be saved as different channels in a single .exr file.

Data Window – Specifies how V-Ray determines and writes data window information to the .exr  file.

Render Region – Saves the currently selected render region to the .exr  file.
Auto – Automatically determines and writes data window information to the .exr file. The data window is determined by the pixels that have non-zero alpha values.
Whole Image – Saves the whole image even when a render region is selected.

Options for .png files

Options for .exr files

Resumable Rendering – Enables resumable rendering. The toggle is interactable only after a valid file path is set in Settings > Render Output > Save Image > File Path. For more information, see the Resumable Rendering page.

Autosave Interval – Specifies an interval in minutes for saving resumable files during rendering. This usage applies only to Progressive sampling. Non-progressive (Bucket) rendering is saved on every completed bucket. A value of 0 disables autosaving during rendering and resumable files are saved only at the end of the rendering.

Delete Completed – Deletes the resumable file once the frame is rendered.
