If you are presenting an initial concept design, you may want your presentation to have a stylish sketched look. You can create
this type of image by creating a sketch and a simple model, then using Render > Place Projection
on a roughed-in model, and using either WindowDisplay > Hardware Shade
or Render > Direct Render
.
Before you do a final render, preview the appearance of objects, shaders, textures, and lights using one of the preview renderers.
Preview rendering is typically faster (and lower quality) than final rendering. Use Render > Direct Render for preview software renderings.
Direct render is a convenient way to launch and monitor one or more renders while working within Alias.
Direct render opens a new window on top of the active window, and renders that window’s view using the selected renderer.
Select one of the following five Alias renderers
depending on what option or options you have available with your software.
