This will export your model, surfaces and rendering settings. If you want to continue working on your model with additional Cinema4D functions, use the Export to Cinema 4D command from the Render pop-up button of the PhotoRendering palette. The CineRender engine in ARCHICAD does not support multi-pass or net render functions. The Render picture is sent back - this is an ongoing process whose progress you can see in the picture window. – Finally, post effects (if applied) are calculated.Ĥ. Note that the number of squares corresponds to the number of cores in your computer (more cores result in faster renderings) – The rendering itself takes place, recognizable by the squares revealing the image from the inside out, in a circular manner. You can recognize this phase by the sampling on the picture, while the lighting of the scene is calculated. – Global Illumination (if applied) is calculated. During this time, you can keep working in ARCHICAD. To optimize the process, only those changes are sent which occurred since the last render.ģ. During this interval, you will see the “Preparing” tag in the top right corner of your screen in a separate Progress Window, and also and in the rendering window.Ģ. This occurs in ARCHICAD this goes quickly, but during this time you cannot continue working in ARCHICAD. The rendering process involves data exchange between the ARCHICAD model and the engine, in the following steps:ġ. This setting (whether Render Safe Frame is applied or not) is noted in the 3D Only panel of View Settings and on the 3D Visualization toolbar.Īlthough the CineRender engine is built in to ARCHICAD, it is an add-on that is a separate program component.

In this situation, the full content of the 3D window - even content that is not visible on screen - will be rendered, with its size determined by Render Size. Note: The Render Safe Frame setting to OFF corresponds to Rendering Settings from ARCHICAD versions 17 and older. The Render Safe Frame gives you feedback on this and a chance to adjust the Size parameters. Depending on the Size settings, your model could be cut off in the render. This might not be obvious, because the output is affected by the Size setting in Render Settings. This is an ARCHICAD mode that affects the 3D window it displays a frame that indicates which part of the model will be rendered. Turn on this 3D view feature at Document > Creative Imaging > Render Safe Frame. If Render Safe Frame is off, then you will render the Marquee area regardless. Note: If the Render Safe Frame mode is on (see below), then your Marquee will only have an effect to the extent that it falls within the Render Safe Frame. This is useful, for example, if you have already fully rendered the scene, but then change or correct one small part of it, and only need to re-render that part.įor either option, the Preview shows only the marqueed region. It will render the scene as a whole, but only the marquee region is rendered in full the rest of the scene is shown as transparent. Render Marquee Region: Use this function if you only want to render a small part of the 3D window.This renders and outputs only the marquee region. Render Marquee Region and Crop: With a Marquee placed, this is the default rendering command.Once you have placed the Marquee, two Render Region commands are available (in the Document > Creative Imaging menu and as pop-up options of the Render button of the Render palette): It will always assume a rectangular shape (even if you draw a custom-shaped Marquee. Note: You must use the 2D Marquee option. Note: Rendering time varies depending on many factors, including size and complexity of the rendering parameters, and hardware capabilities.īy placing a Marquee in the 3D window, you have additional ways to limit the rendered model. If needed, click Stop, or just close the window to stop the render.A checkmark indicates that the render is complete (but not yet opened). In Tab Bar, Picture window tab shows feedback on background rendering progress (CineRender only).

The picture window appears, with a progress bar and Stop button, feedback on elapsed rendering time, plus the familiar Zoom and Fit in Window window controls.
Use Document > Creative Imaging > PhotoRender Projection.
Click the render icon at the bottom of the PhotoRendering Settings Palette, or.
To create a rendered image of the 3D window contents, subject to render size settings:
