Change Render Settings for a View

You can define render settings for a 3D view before or after rendering an image.

Note: The option to change render settings as part of the view properties is only available if you selected NVIDIA mental ray as the rendering engine. If you selected Autodesk Raytracer as the rendering engine, the render settings are not saved as part of the view properties. With Autodesk Raytracer, these settings must be defined before rendering the image.

These settings are saved as part of the view properties.

To change render settings for a view

1. In the Project Browser, under Views (all)3D Views, select the view name.
2. On the Properties palette, under Camera, for Rendering Settings, click Edit.

   The Rendering Settings dialog displays a subset of the settings in the Rendering dialog.

   Tip: These settings can be saved in a view template and applied to other 3D views.
3. Specify the desired settings, as follows:
   • Quality
   • Lighting
   • Background
   • Image
4. Click OK.
