Rendering
Quality settings, IBL lighting and saving the result.
Settings
Open the Settings panel (left sidebar) before rendering. Settings are grouped into tabs; each tab offers quality presets — pick a preset, then fine-tune individual values if the preset is editable. All changes are saved automatically and applied to the active render.
Rendering
- Choose Start/Stop rendering in the viewport context menu — the render pass begins.
- Frame the camera — the render uses the current view direction.
- Choose Start/Stop rendering again to stop.
Lighting
By default the scene is lit by the built-in environment. Load image for IBL in the context menu replaces it with an image-based lighting environment (for example, an HDR panorama), which changes both lighting and reflections.
Saving the result
Due to the nature of ray tracing, the image improves over time: the accumulated render gradually converges and the noise clears away. Any change — orbiting the camera, moving objects, changing a material or the lighting — resets the accumulation, and convergence starts over. So for the best saved-image quality give the render time: do not move the camera or make other changes until the image quality stops improving, and only then run Save rendered image from the context menu.
