- [Instructor] At this stage, we are ready to save out
our final rendered animation.
And I'm going to do a couple small things prior to doing so.
Now, we've already gone up here and run
the accurate rendering here
to make sure that our rendering is going to look good.
I'm going to come down here to the ending point
of my animation.
I'm going to move that in here to only three seconds.
And doing that, I'm also going to move in
these keys here at the same time,
so it's going to be kind of a quick animation,
but I want to be able to render this out,
so you can actually see what's going to happen
in the final design.
So let's go ahead and try that out and see what happens.
So we're going to start kind of here,
and just kind of pan away from it,
and so that looks fine.
Now we're going to get about a three-second animation,
so I'll go ahead and hit Pause there.
And now come up here to the Output Tools.
Come down here to Render.
Now we have a couple options here,
so I'm going to Save that in the 6.4 folder.
Let's change that to 6.4, select the Folder.
As far as my image format,
I'm going to be saving it out as an Image
if this is just a pure rendering,
but we're actually going to go over there
to the Animation Tool.
So, and under animation, again we're already here.
Image formats can be jpeg, and I'm going to go down here
and create a movie, so you have the option
of just creating a stack of images,
and it generally will do that anyways.
But if you click on Create Movie,
it's going to save it as a MPEG-4, or I'm going to use
other formats here, but MP4 is a really
good format to choose.
You can choose alpha channels
if you're saving out the images themselves.
A couple of these other things are being grayed out,
because you don't have the option
if you're creating a movie.
And we've got three seconds of video,
and it's 30 frames a second,
so that means there's going to be 90 frames of video.
Once everything looks good,
go ahead and just start that animation.
If you want to switch back over here to the regular options,
you can also change things like resolution if you wanted to,
quality, render passes and so on.
Now let's come jump back over here,
get it all set up, and then click on
Start Animation Renderer, and here we go.
Now I've got about 90 frames to render out.
Each frame's going to probably take a little bit over
one minute to run,
so I'm just assuming we've probably got
about an hour and a half to render out
those three seconds of video.
We're going to see what it's going to calculate
as far as time, depending on of course,
how fast your machine is, or how much you're rendering.
We'll definitely take a look at that
when we get down here.
So it's estimating here at one hour and 41 minutes,
so we're going to check back after this is done
with the final render, but that's pretty much it,
so everything we've done in the course
up to this point in time,
is culminating with this final render.
Obviously we have a pretty simple rendering here
we're doing, it's only three seconds,
we're not using too many cameras or moving things around,
but obviously using the skills we've taught in this course,
you should be able to create a very elaborate rendering,
and really show off what you can do with your software,
so that is it for rendering,
and at the end of this movie we'll save this final project
in that folder so you have a chance to review it
when you get to it.
Alright, it looks like our render completed,
and I've done that a couple times now,
so you can see a couple different variations.
This one only took about a half an hour,
because I did it a little bit smaller size.
And if I go ahead and click on this one right here,
this link at the bottom of the screen,
that will open up that folder containing it
which is chapter six, 6.4,
and you can see it's the original project,
and now here is the MP4 if you double-click on that one,
it'll open up, and there is our quick little rendering.
Now that's fairly low-quality rendering,
because I did it pretty fast, however,
if you have the time, definitely bump up that resolution,
and let it render for a little bit longer,
and you can get some really amazing results.
If you close this out of here,
you can see you have a couple different folders
inside of there.
And these are the image stacks
that are used to create those videos.
So as you can see, as we move through these
individual images here,
we're starting at the beginning and really ending
at the bottom here with the final render,
so all those are stacked together
to create that one movie.
If you go back one folder,
you have the exact same thing over here in jpeg version,
so you can take a look at how that progresses through.
Anyways, that about wraps up the rendering,
and the review of that rendering.
Hopefully this course has been beneficial to you,
and you can use some renderings in your future.
