Render Export

The Render Export dialog box lets you specify the render settings for render jobs based on your active Scene.

Note: The output media of render jobs is available for 3 months in the Render job monitor before it is deleted. For more information, see About Render Job Monitor.
To open the Render Export dialog box, click Render Export from the action bar.

This page discusses:

Name
Specifies the name of the render job. By default the Experience name is used.
Render Preview
Displays a thumbnail of the Scene that is rendered by this job. After a few seconds the preview image improves to a low-quality Stellar Physically Correct rendering, to give a better impression of the final result, similar to Live Preview Rendering.
Note: A message indicates when your Scene camera has not captured the latest changes of the viewport camera. Click Update Scene to update the Scene, before starting the render job. For more information, see Editing Cameras.

Settings
360 Sequence
Defines whether an image sequence is rendered or only a single image.
Note: This option is only available for Scenes with an activated 360 Sequence, for more information, see 360 Sequence and Creating a 360 Sequence Rendering.
  • If 360 Sequence is enabled: As many images are produced per as frames exist in the 360 camera sequence of the Scene camera;
  • If disabled: One image is produced with the view of the Scene camera.

Format
Defines the file format of the rendered media. You can choose between the following options:
  • PNG
  • JPEG
  • EXR

Alpha
Specifies whether the render output is rendered with premultiplied alpha or not. If Alpha is enabled, the images are rendered without the ambience, but with transparent background.
Note: You can only activate the Alpha property for the media formats PNG and EXR. Alpha is only visible in the preview of the Render Export, the Job Monitor, and the final render output. You cannot see it in the viewport of xStudio, or in the Live Preview Rendering window.

Resolution
Specifies the number of pixels for the produced media.
Note: Values are in pixels.
The values for the height and width are linked to each other based on the specified Aspect Ratio of the Scene camera. This means when you change the value for the width the height value is adjusted accordingly and vice versa.

Quality

The following presets contain predefined settings for the noise freeness of your rendered media:

Preview
Provides fast rendered preview images.
Medium
Provides decently smooth images.
High
Provides highly smooth images.
Ultra
Provides particularly smooth images.

The example pictures are a close up of the following image:

As the number of sampling steps between the presets increases from Preview to Ultra, the render time and credit costs are also higher.

Note: The overall quality of your image is also highly dependent on the specified Resolution.

Credits

For processing render jobs, you are charged in form of render credits.

Available Credits
Displays the amount of Credits you have available for starting your render job.
Note: Credits are often shared between several users of an application.
Required Credits
Calculates the estimated number of render credits that is expected to be used to render the specified job. The higher the Resolution, and the Quality the more credits the job will cost.
