Click Render or push the Return key to begin the rendering of the model from the currently active view.
You can choose to set up the rendering now, but not actually begin rendering it until later by clicking the Suspend button. All of the modeling data is saved as a self-contained file, and the model won't need to be reopened to restart the rendering.
When Render is selected directly from the Rendering menu, the currently active view is used as the viewpoint for the rendering, as well as for size and proportion. The view's focal length setting also becomes the perspective used for the image.
You can also access this dialog by holding down the Shift key while using the Rendering tool to define the dimensions of the rendering. This lets you to crop the scene, as well as letting you access the Render dialog.
When using the drag-define method with the Rendering tool, the image size in the dialog is adjusted according to the area defined by the drag marquee.
If you try to modify the model while the rendering is in progress, an alert is displayed warning you that the rendering cannot proceed if any changes are made to the model.
If the Current Frame button is selected, a single image is rendered. This image is rendered and stored internally in full 32-bit color, even if the monitor you're using isn't capable of showing that much color depth. The rendering window displays the image at the best capability of the monitor. To see the full range of colors contained in a 32-bit color image at the time of rendering, you will need a full color monitor.
