Animation / Controls / Record Command
choose this command when you are ready to record the Active
Document's animation to disk (through the current Active Camera). K-3D will open the
Select Recording Type dialog where you choose whether to render your animation as a series
of individual, numbered frames (Single Frames), or a single .avi
video file (Video). in addition, you can choose whether
the individual frames of the animation should start rendering immediately (Begin
Rendering Immediately), or whether they should be queued-up in the Jobs Tab,
for rendering at a later time. note that not all rendering engines support delayed
rendering, and those that do don't support it all the time (when rendering to a video
file, for example). check your rendering engine's documentation for details. if you choose to render single frames, K-3D will open the File Open
dialog box, prompting you to enter a Base Filename. when the individual frames are
rendered, they will be named using a combination of the Base Filename and their frame
number; for example: if you choose "c:\graphics\test.bmp" as your Base Filename,
a 120-frame animation would render as 120 separate images, named as follows: if you choose to render to video, K-3D will create a File Open
dialog box so you can enter the name of the video file to be created. depending upon
the video rendering capabilities of your system, you may receive further prompts for
information pertaining to video codecs, data rate, etc. |
