Output Overview

This tab of the Render Settings holds the common options for rendering.

Image

File Name - specifies the name and extension of the file in which the output will be saved. Note that the file extension directly controls the output format. Most output formats generate a single file per frame, except for .exr which emits additional output files for each render channel.

Save In - specifies a folder in which the output will be saved.

OpenEXR Options

These options are only available when the output format is set to .exr

Compression type - allows you to choose between the different methods for compression available for the .exr format.

Bits per channel - allows you to choose between 16-bit (half float) and 32-bit (full float) precision.

VRay Pass Options

Local to Current Pass - creates a local copy of global VRay Options for the current pass.

Copy VRay Settings

Copy Pass to Global - applies the local VRay settings to the global ones.

VRay Region Copy Options

Pass to Region

Copy from Current - applies VRay settings from the current pass to current viewport render region.

Pass or Region

Copy from Global - copies the global VRay options to current render region settings.

Region to Pass

Region to Current - VRay Options from current viewport render region are applied to the current pass.

Region to Global

Region to Global - copies VRay Options from current viewport render region to global VRay settings.

Use V-Ray VFB - when this option is checked V-Ray will render the image in the V-Ray VFB. This is the recommended mode. If unchecked, the built-in Softimage preview window will be used, with some limitations (no render elements will be previewed).
