Log File
If this option is enabled, a render log will be recorded in ‘Renderlog.txt’ in the CINEMA 4D folder. The
render log contains a complete history of the render process including system resource information.
Check this log if you need to identify problems that occurred while rendering. The information in
the log le is not overwritten by subsequent renders. Rather, new log information is appended. As a
result, this le can grow to a fair size over time. You may wish to delete the le manually every now
and then — a new le will be created the next time the log is recorded.
Textures
Using this option, you can enable or disable textures when rendering. For example, you can disable
the textures for a test render or when using the cel renderer. If this option is enabled, textures will
be rendered. If Textures is disabled, the average color value of the top texture layer (the right-most
texture in the Object manager) will be rendered for each object.
Cancel If Texture Error
If CINEMA 4D cannot nd a texture when rendering the scene, an alert dialog will appear. If this
option is disabled and you conrm the alert, the rendering continues without the missing texture. If
you enable this option, rendering will be cancelled after the alert. If you are rendering several scenes
(batch rendering), the next render task will then be started.
Blurry Effects
Use this option to enable/disable the blur effect for the Reection and Transparency material
channels.
Volumetric Lighting
Enable this option if you want shadows to be cast in visible light. Since the effect is processor-
intensive, you may want to speed up test-renders by disabling the option.
Use Display Tag LOD
If this option is enabled, the renderer will use the level of detail specied in Display tags.
