Rendering

Ok... So I set up my lights where I want them. I render it, sit back, smile, and revel in what I have just created. Then, I try to zoom into a certain spot and the rendering goes away. Is there an option that I don't have turned on or is that just the way it acts? I'm using 2004.

 

That's the way it is. The rendering represents that view at that time. If
you want more than one view, you'll need to render for each view. You can
save your renderings by using the file option.

Render is for producing low-level presentation graphics, and as such is a one time shot.

If you desire real time shading, explore SHADEMODE. It's very limited for presentation, but is useful during design. Be aware, SHADEMODE on in PS viewport can produce unexpected results when plotting.

Also, so far I have found no use for SHADEMODE 3D Wireframe. If you're not looking a actual shading, use 2D.

 

"Render is for producing low-level presentation graphics"

LOL... Hardly...

Alright... That's kinda what I thought. But I was hoping there would be some way to get around it to where I could orbit and look at the render to make sure the lighting was what I wanted on all angles.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.

Rendering produces a bmp. If you want to orbit it, use Gouraud shading.

 

You can select .bmp, .tif, .tga, pcx and postscript from the dialogue.
Choose the save to file option.

That was a "given" - the point was that it's only a picture and can't be
rotated.

Hey, I said "low-level".

 

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY IF YOU RENDER YOUR OBJECT BY SELECTING DESTINATION AS " VIEWPORT."

IF YOU RENDER YOUR OBJECT WITH DESTINATION AS "RENDER WINDOW" / "FILE" THEN YOU HAVE THIS FACILITY.

PL. TRY

 

Yeah...

All this stuff is what I thought would be necessary. I was just seeing if there was a simple way to do it, but then again the only things truly simple with this program are lines and circles... No insult intended, it is just a big program with alot of areas that I don't know about yet.

Oh well, you win some you lose some. Thanks for your help guys.
