The main commands for rendering are on the main toolbar and the Rendered Frame Window. Another way to invoke some of these commands is to use the default Rendering menu, which contains other commands related to rendering.

Render Setup
This command opens the Render Setup dialog, which lets you set the parameters for rendering. Rendering creates a still image or an animation. It shades the scene's geometry using the lighting you've set up, the materials you've applied, and environment settings such as background and atmosphere.
Render Last
The Render Last command repeats the last render (whether a render view, render region, render blowup, or render selected) using the last viewport from which you rendered.
Print Size Wizard
The Print Size Wizard feature is useful when you plan to print a rendered image. It lets you specify output size, resolution, and orientation in terms of the printed image; that is, using a standard measuring system rather than pixels. It also indicates the approximate uncompressed size of the image file. You can render directly from the wizard on your computer or over a network, or transfer the settings to the Render Setup dialog.
