Render a region of your scene

 
 
 

Render View lets you render a specific portion of your scene at any resolution so that you can get a feel for the changes you make as you shade, light, and texture objects.

Unlike rendering at a lower resolution, a process which reduces the size of the entire image, rendering a region can help you make changes more efficiently and quickly to the specific regions of interest at full resolution.

Tip

If you turn on Auto Render Region (Options > Auto Render Region), the changes you make appear as you draw the marquee anywhere in Render View. Only the marqueed area of the surface re-renders showing the results of the adjustment.

To render a region of your scene

  1. Marquee select the area that you want to render in Render View.
  2. If there is no representation of your scene in Render View for you to marquee select Render > Snapshot > and select the camera (view) you want to capture.
  3. Click the Render region button or select Render > Render Region.
