PhotoRendering Settings

For more information, see PhotoRendering.

The panels of the PhotoRendering Settings dialog box access dialog boxes with settings for the photorendering process. The panels you will see depend on the rendering engine that is selected.

Engine: At the top of the dialog box, choose a photorendering engine. Add-Ons can install additional rendering engines.

Factory Settings button: Click this button if you have made changes to the selected Engine’s settings (using the panels below), but want to revert all engine settings to their original, “factory” values.

Enter a Resolution value in dpi.

The size of the resulting photorendered image can be set numerically, or you can adjust it to the size of the currently used 3D Window by clicking the Size to 3D Window button in the upper part of the PhotoRendering Settings dialog box. The proportion of the height and width of the resulting image will be indicated by the image frame in the Preview Window.

If the proportions are different, you get stripes of the background color at the top and bottom and on the left and right sides of the PhotoRendered image. This will be apparent with internal perspectives or with external perspectives where the view does not enclose the entire Project and it is clipped by the image boundaries.

If you check the Keep Proportions of 3D Window checkbox, the height and width ratio of the resulting image will keep its current proportions. If you change either the horizontal or vertical values, the other value will be updated accordingly.
