- Choose Rendering Render Setup, and then in the Render Output group of the Common Parameters rollout, click Files.
This opens the Render Output File dialog.
- Use the Save In field near the top of the dialog to choose the directory in which to save the rendered file.
- In the File Name field, enter the name for the file to be rendered.
Tip: If you enter a filename extension as well (for instance:
myimage.bmp)
and then press Tab, the Setup button activates and you can click it to change the file settings.
- Choose the type of file you want to render from the Save As Type drop-down list.
Tip: If you entered the filename extension as part of the file name, you can skip this step.
- Click Save to close the Render Output File dialog.
Clicking Save also opens a dialog that lets you set the options for the file format you chose. Adjust these settings (or leave them at their defaults), and then click OK.
- On the Render Setup dialog, click the Render button to render the scene and save the file.
Note: If a file of the same name already exists, a dialog opens to let you confirm overwriting it. This dialog also provides a checkbox for automatically overwriting render-output files without being prompted for the duration of the session.
