These are useful if we want to storyboard or create previews without wasting time on rendering. You can think of a viewport render as Blender taking a screenshot of the viewport. These renders are even quicker than rendering with Eevee. We can also create a viewport render in Blender. Check the render settings guides for Eevee and Cycles above for more information. There are many ways to speed up rendering. Keep in mind that the render border persists to the final render, so clear it before rendering the final image or animation. Use Ctrl+B again to draw a new box if you wish or press Alt+Ctrl+B to clear the render border. If your render is particularly slow, you can press Ctrl+B and draw a box to render only that area of the viewport. Just click the camera icon and at the top you will see a render engine drop-down.

This will change the viewport to display with the currently selected render engine. To preview your render in the viewport you can press the rendered viewport shading button in the top right corner of the 3D viewport.

When rendering an animation, the image editor will pop-up and show us the progress one frame at a time until all frames are rendered.ДЄ simple way to get started with animation in Blender is to animate the camera movement through your scene. In the dimensions section found in the output properties, we can also set the resolution and frame settings.

In this case, Blender will render each frame directly into a movie file, but we cannot resume the render if an error occurs mid-render. We can also choose a movie format such as FFMPEG Video. In this case Blender store each frame as its own image file and if an error occurs during the rendering process, we can render from the last successful frame instead of re-rendering the entire animation. We can choose an image format, for instance PNG. Here we can choose an output folder as well as a file format.Д«y default, the output folder is /tmp/. We can set this folder in the output section found in the output properties tab just below the render settings. First, Blender needs an output folder to store the rendered frames. With animations we need to prepare a few things before we start our render. To render an animation in Blender, we press Ctrl+F12 or go to the render menu and press render animation. This file format supports high dynamic range and can support multiple layers. Once completed, we can save the rendered image by pressing Alt+S or by going to the image menu where we find 'Save' or 'Save As'.Д«y default, the PNG file format is selected, but if we want to save an image that is equivalent to a photographer's raw files, use OpenEXR. When the render starts an image editor will pop up showing us the render progress.

The render engine we use can be set in the render settings tab found in the properties panel.

Pressing F12 is the quickest way to start a render in Blender. It is possible to produce a good-looking image with both engines, but they take vastly separate ways to the resulting image. The benefit is that it is much more accurate and produce an image based on how light bounce in the real world. This is a much slower kind of render engine.

This kind of render engine is suitable for real-time or close to real-time performance.Д¬ycles on the other hand is a ray-traced render engine. These two render engines aim to be similar in look but work completely different.Д®evee is a rasterized render engine, meaning that its primary goal is to be fast. Suggested content: Artisticrender's E-BookД«lender has two render engines built in. It has helped many people learn Blender faster and deepen their knowledge in this fantastic software. There is more to it, but these are the basic building blocks used by the renderer in our scene.Д«y the way, if you enjoy this article, I suggest that you look at my E-Book. To calculate the lighting the render engine needs information from our scene. Rendering is when the computer calculates the light in our scene to create the final image or animation.
