  • Problem with exporting…

    Posted by Travis Heberling on April 20, 2011 at 5:04 pm

    Hello.

    I am trying to render out a short animation of just some random shapes interacting with metaball, and cannot seem to get my frames to render out.

    I have 90 frames and I was going to render them out as tiff images.

    I have all my render settings right, and I even tried starting a new project file and I still cannot render anything.

    I even tried a single frame and still no go….

    can anyone help me out?

    Some extra information if it is needed:
    I have version 11.5
    64-bit
    Windows 7
    Six Core processor
    8 GBs RAM

    thank you.

    What happens, exactly, when you click the render icon? Without knowing more I’m wondering if it might not just be taking a long time to prepare, as you may have a much higher render setting for the metaballs than the editor setting.

    When I click render basically it will render the one frame in the viewport and that is it.

    Are you adding your project to the render queue and telling it to render from there?

    First you need to go into render settings (the right-most of the three render icons) and select “all frames” in the Output section. Then you have to set the options you want in the Render>Save section. And finally you have to render to the picture viewer (middle render icon) instead of the editor.
