You can use the Rendering tool's pop-up menu to select the renderer and level of detail you want to use. This list is the same as the Settings pop-up list in the Render dialog.
The images are rendered in separate Rendering windows. A rendering can be initiated from several different locations: the Modeling window, a Camera or Spotlight window, or the Project window.
You can initiate a rendering in one of three ways:
· Single click. The entire window renders.
· Cursor drag. The size and proportion of the rendering is determined by the marquee drawn with the cursor.
If you're using the cursor drag method, you can more accurately define the exact position of the cursor by turning on Caps Lock. When Caps Lock is on, a cross-hair appears in the center of the tool icon, allowing you to more accurately position it in the window.
· Use the Render command. Select the Render command from the Rendering menu to display the Render dialog.
This command allows you to specify the complete set of rendering parameters, including image size, image quality, resolution, and animation frames, if applicable, before the rendering starts.
