Rendering Tutorial

Tip:

• For best results, instead of rendering soft shadows with a point light, use a soft shadow casting spotlight and set the shadow quality to the highest setting.
• If you have a space-ball type controller, and you manipulate it while you render an animation, the camera view might shift. To avoid the shift, turn off the controller during long render operations.
