Render menu

Save Screen Image: Opens the Save Screen Image window, letting you set options, then capture an image of the 3D View and save it in the file format and directory you specify. Supported file formats include: .png, .bmp, .tiff, .jpg.

NoteYou can specify resolutions and aspect ratios larger than the current 3D View.

Save Screen Image options include:

Width and Height: Specify the width and height of the saved image in pixels.
Constrain Proportions: Locks the Height and Width values to each other so when one value is changed the other is updated to maintain the original aspect ratio. When off, you can adjust the Height and Width values independently and output an image with different proportions compared to the default setting.
Use Screen Size: Exports the image at the same resolution as the 3D View.
Use 2X Screen Size: Click to save the image at twice the resolution of the 3D View.
Use 4X Screen Size: Click to save the image at four times the resolution of the 3D View.
Save Image: Opens a file browser, letting you specify file format, directory, and file name for saving the file.

NoteThe .tiff and .png image formats are output with a transparent background that can be composited using an image editing application.

Record Movie: Opens the Record Movie window, letting you set properties and create an animation that revolves 360 degrees about a vertical axis.

Supported file formats include: .mp4, .flv, .swf, and .png (when set to File Sequence). You can also specify resolutions and aspect ratios larger than the current 3D View. Options include:

Presets: Lets you select from common multimedia and video image resolutions.
Width: Specifies the width of the saved image in pixels.
Height: Sets the height of the saved image in pixels.
Record at: Specifies the rate at which video frames are recorded in frames per second (fps).
Playback at: Specifies the rate at which video frames are played back in frames per second (fps).
Automatically Pause Recording When Idle: When on, Mudbox pauses recording when your tool cursor is inactive, preventing the recording of unwanted frames. Recording resumes when you move the tool.
Mudbox Window: Records actions occurring in the entire Mudbox interface, including trays, menus, and property windows. This is ideal for recording a movie of your workflow for instructional purposes.
3D View Only: Records actions occurring in the 3D View only.
Start Recording: Starts recording frames.

The following options appear below the trays after you click Start Recording in the Record Movie window.

Pause: Temporarily stops recording until you click Continue or Stop.

Create Turntable Movie: Opens the Create Turntable Movie window, letting you set properties and create a recording of the 3D View that revolves 360 degrees about a vertical axis.

Supported file formats include: .mp4, .flv, .swf, and .png (when set to File Sequence). Resolutions and aspect ratios larger than the current 3D View can also be specified.

Presets: Lets you select from common multimedia and video image resolutions.
Width: Specifies the width of the saved image in pixels.
Height: Sets the height of the saved image in pixels.
Number of Frames: Specifies the number of frames to be rendered for the 360 degree animation.
Playback at: Specifies the rate at which video frames are played back in frames per second (fps). This value combined with the Number of Frames determines the speed of rotation for the model.
Anti-alias: Performs an anti-alias filter on the pixels to produce higher quality results in the image. When on, the render process takes longer.
