CINEMA 4D R11 Quickstart – Rendering
CINEMA 4D will now render all of the scene’s pictures. The scene’s length is determined in the preferences
(CINEMA 4D main menu: Edit / Preferences) menu. Our scene runs from frames 0 to 90. We just have to
determine which file format our images will have and where they will be saved.
Switch to “Save“ in the Render Settings, click on the button next to “Path“ and choose a name and a place to
save your film. Now choose a format – you can use “Quicktime“ or “AVI“.
You can also choose single image formats such as TIFF, for example. CINEMA 4D will then save 90 images for
this particular animation. You can then create a film from these single images using editing software. Some
formats even allow you to save an alpha channel with the image. Alpha channels help you to cut out objects in
the image in an image editing program, letting you change the background, for instance.
Select “Render / Render in Picture Viewer“ from CINEMA 4D’s main menu and watch CINEMA 4D work.
In the “Options“ menu of the Render Settings you also will find further settings that influence your rendering.
Here you can turn textures off, generate a protocol as a text file and regulate the level of detail.
