Blender Tutorial: How To Render Properly

[jakwatson54]

640x480? aww youtube in 2008

[Wireheadking]

It's a CUBE not a square. And you actually need to render animations as a group of PNGs. So you'll make an image sequence for the animation which you can then put togeather as a video in the sequence editor in Blender. This method is better because if Blender crashes during the render, you can start again from where you left off without losing any data. Oh, and if you want to render HD, You need 1280x720 (for 720p) / 1920x1080 (for 1080p).

[charmedmzd]

You have a sexy voice ! ♥♥♥ @lakercoolman

[putzmitt3l]

DAMN IT... another worthless TUTOORIAL! even I know that you need to render your frames separately and then put them all together in a video. That way if your computer crashes it will render up to a certain N-numbered frame and the next time you start rendering you can start from the N+1-numberd frame... With your way dear sir ... in this situation I'll end up with a worthless vid file.

[bofIMPACT]

@Syske28 depending on the computer some times up to 4 days

[hejthenerd]

what should i do if i just want i single picture?

[ModMeToday]

Its not a cube, when you measure it its technololey a rectangular cuboid...

ITS HARRY HILLS TV BURP! lol

[jedrorm]

Did you mention how to change the background color???

[silverblade604]

accually, you do wanna have png or jpeg files, because if your computer crashes and you render a movie, you will love every frame, and if you render pgn's then you can start at the part that the computer crashed

[H4xxmax]

wheres the render avi raw going to be? in wich map?

[CDFfilms]

HELP ME!! when I render current frame with my output folder as /tmp, I render it and I go to my /tmp folder, and it is not there. I have tried using other folders as an output folder, but it just won't show up?! what am I doing wrong

[MrRik338]

pokemon folder? lol

[mafiagenious]

Just so you know, instead of closing all of Blender just to stop rendering an animation, you can hold down the esc key.

[MasterOfMist]

Where does the file go to when you render?

[mafiagenious]

@MasterOfMist In the render settings window, in the top left underneath the word output it should have something like "/tmp\". There should be a folder button next to that and then you can choose where you want it to save, but it will also save renders there.

[PianoKing2000]

omg so many people who use blender are way older than me... i feel like an ameture... then again, i just got the program today...

[rossmcgowan123]

you might have just gotten me into university

[CDFfilms]

how do you change the render background colour?

[mafiagenious]

@CDFfilms Go into the Shading tab (f5) and then go into the World Buttons tab which looks like Earth. Then click the top right box out of the 3 boxes in that section. It should be the sky colour.

[zergtuga]

LOL Since wen you need to close the program to stop a render?

I think is much easier to press the ESC button ;D

[Terminator636]

I found out the hard way not to render in jpeg.

[C0DESUB]

i tried to press F3 but it doesnt do anything help! im making a fox logo wich uses 8 hrs to render and i dont wanna lose it!!!!!!HEEAALP

[cosmic915]

someone please help! Everytime I click render frame the window pops up, but is always black, no matter how many lights I put. Help!

[Sauasful]

Americans sound so funny

[EggSuckingProduction]

how do i get the rendered avi or whatever file?

will quick time work?

[sondreu1]

you can just press esc to exit instead of closing the program.

[metaphor26]

@3:27 instead of that focus on rending window and press escape twice...

[zzxcrozzy]

my stop rendering at 250 frames, any help please?

[letsEating]

@ zzxcrozzy.

In the render options in the 'animation' window the default length is 1 to 250 frames, just edit this length (start and end values) and you should get what you need =)

[zzxcrozzy]

thank you:) it worked..

[AmazingKeenan]

Thank you so much! This is the most helpful blender tutorial I have ever used!

[axelle1lover]

thx man but after how do i now its done??? cuz my laptop is busy for like 45 min and i cant find the file plz help anybody

[cr7ck5]

ur comps. really slow..

[heyitscorty7]

But where does it go??

[TheCharon77]

fine, it's a pyramid and nobody cares. :-)

[Tortiak]

How do you like, make a video of it say move it around so its like cool... -_-??

[TheCharon77]

It's a cube, not a square : )

[xxxdaxoxxx]

just wot i needed man.... thanks

[adamjamesm]

saving is a good idea, but you can also hit the ESC key to cancel the render.

[CptnFordo]

were does it save the avi raw video file to?

[nitrospide2]

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!

[SebAlva]

you're pressing F12 and rendering only the current frame, you have to go to render, then render animation, or Ctrl+F12 ;)

[VisualDesignFX]

haha thx

[antobrez]

Here man thats a cool mac layout at the top with the apps. Howd you color it blue and all?? could you reply with a private message

[IAmTheTacoLad]

That would appear to be RocketDock.

[ArtixT7]

weeee-ll i did everything u sed saved it as .avi RAW and wen i tried to upload it on youtube, it sed, error converting0.0

[Diamondinn]

wait, I did everything you said, set the size, set on AVI raw, saved it and rendered it, then I looked it up in finder and found the file but it was still a .blend file and when I clicked it it just opened up the project in blender...

[dwarfmenproductions]

you can just press esc to stop the render process.

[jacobiversen1]

when i render i render as avi raw and then i open it and it sais that the video player does not support this tipe of video, then i tried opening it up in vegas and it said wrong filetype. what do i do??????

[accuratesheep]

nice tutorial

what if i wanna render a single frame as a picture? can i just click render animation and he'll make a single picture (if ididnt make the cube move) ? or does it depend on the format? help please

[zzxcrozzy]

@accuratesheep on the render menu at the top just click "render current frame".

[accuratesheep]

wow! interesting if someone answeres a comment of what I think I wrote it before I was born :=) Thanks!

[Batflapers]

I can hear all of his saliva

[moffboffjoe]

im sorry but that video showed barely anything to new users

[sodapopdude4]

wait, now for some odd reason it is moving really slowly in frame by frame. What do I do?

[moffboffjoe]

what processor do you have?

[sodapopdude4]

oh, I found out how to work it, I just have to press anim and let it run for about 5 min. slowly and then press render animation and it works

[sodapopdude4]

Thanks its a big help

[likeluis]

lol thx so much chris.

[HilariousShortFilms]

well i hope you no that you can just press esc and then close the render frame. you dont have to close the whole program. well atleast with the version i am using.

[mzh3000]

i have stuff with textures and all that but for some reason when it renders them the render isnt smooth adn colorfull it`s gray and ugly

[YANEproductions]

Whenever I render it it is just black for 13 seconds!

[cornhusker26]

when you render it, where does it go after you render it? I can not seem to find what I have rendered

[aylamod]

Under the tab "output" on the scene panel (usually the main panels with the render buttons, the "output" is usually located to the far left). it should have a path labeled "temp", this puts it in a folder on your C: drive labeled "temp". Point this path to a new area to specify output location.

[finpkfin]

im a total noob got this thing today so how do i like rotate the cube that appears when u start it looks like if u ask a 4 years old to draaw u a cube

[daisyfoofpoof]

if you mean rotate the camera so you can see it in 3d, hold down the middle mouse button and move the mouse. if you want to rotate the actual cube, have it selected (right click it) then push 'R' and move the mouse

[lakercoolman]

I didnt upload this most of them do it their selves teh y cn put whatevr lol , but ya i upload it i will

[emeek77]

who is teh guy talking?

[lakercoolman]

chris, a friend and staff of mine he's cool guy and i thought i'd open my videos to them as well cuz they got some great content

[itheneo]

Omg... why close whole blender

try just pressing esc twice

the first one is for pause and

the second one is for exit;) may be a

handy tip:)

[daisyfoofpoof]

i know! that way there is no risk in forgetting to save it.

[wee493]

Hey, I uploaded That Video! lol

Great Tutorial Chris!
