Click the
Scene
icon at the top of the
Render Setup editor to switch to the scene (master) layer, then double-click the
Render Settings tab to open the
Render Settings window. This opens the
Render Settings for your scene.
The range of frames being rendered is also displayed. It may indicate Current Frame, or Frame 1-10, for example, if you have set a Start frame and an End frame.
Double-click the Render Settings tab in that layer to open its Render Settings window.
Right-click the attribute that you want to override in the Render Settings window and select Create Absolute Override for Visible Layer or Create Relative Override for Visible Layer.
An override automatically appears beneath the Render Settings tab in the Render Setup editor.
Select any Render Settings override, and the Property Editor indicates the node to which it is applied; for example: Applied to defaultResolution node. This indicator appears on all Render Settings overrides created in Maya 2017 Update 3.
This indicator may be helpful in cases when you create overrides on two or more attributes with the same name on different nodes.
For example, in this case, there are two overrides named width. The Property Editor indicates Applied to defaultResolution node for the former:
and Applied to defaultArnoldFilter node for the latter for easy identification.
To open the
Render Settings for any layer, including the scene layer, click
on the layer, then double-click its
Render Settings tab.
When viewing the Render Settings for a specific layer (including the scene layer), the Render Settings tab for the corresponding layer appears with a grey border.
You can only display the
Render Settings window for a layer that is visible. If you switch to another layer (by clicking
on the layer) while the
Render Settings window is open, the
Render Settings window automatically updates to reflect the settings for the visible layer.
The converse is also true. If you use the Render Layer drop-down list in the Render Settings window to display the Render Settings for a different layer, that layer is automatically set as visible.
