Rendering

Having completed the animation, including tweaking the various aspects, as explained previously, it was time to render it. Fortunately this was a relatively simple process once the required output format had been chosen. The only aspect to watch out for was the file location.

Once you are on the rendering options panel, it is easy to just see the big ‘Render’ button a press that straight away. This will, of course, render the animation but once the render has completed you will be dismayed to learn that it has not been saved on the computer.

Before the render button is clicked it is important to specify a file path in which the final render is to be saved. This is done my scrolling down the rendering setup menu to the output section. Within this section is a default file path, the one that will not be saved on the computer. To edit this, the ‘file’ button was pressed and then the desired file path was created.

Once this had been done, the render was initiated.
