You can choose any of the Realtime display modes as renderers, allowing you to output your realtime effects to file.
The rendered frames show the scene as seen by the pass camera and displayed in any 3D view whose viewpoint is that of the pass camera. All scene elements displayed in the 3D views are rendered, except for reference objects like the grid and axes.
Set the scene renderer or the pass renderer to Hardware Renderer.
Choose Render Render Renderer Options to open the Hardware Renderer Property Editor [Properties Reference].
Choose one of the following from the Render Type list:
If needed, set a new background color. When you output the scene, the hardware rendered images use the new background color, but the 3D views' background color is unaffected. For details, see Setting Scene Colors [Viewing and Navigating].
Set the required output options before rendering the scene. Frames are rendered in accordance with the options set on the Scene Globals tab (Scene options) and Output tab (Pass options), regardless of the active renderer.
