2 In the Render Elements dialog, do one of the following:
■ Click to highlight the name of an element, and then click OK.
■ Double-click the name of an element.
If you have assigned a file name for the entire rendering, the new
element is assigned a file name automatically. Otherwise, use the Files
button in the Selected Element Parameters group to assign an output
file name and file type for the element rendering.
3 If the element is one (such as Blend or Z Buffer) that has additional
parameters, adjust these parameters in the appropriate rollout.
To render the separate elements:
1 Add the elements you want to render.
TIP You can use the Enable button (in the Selected Element Parameters
rollout) to disable individual elements for a particular rendering pass.
2 If you haven't assigned file names automatically, use the Files button in
the Selected Element Parameters group to assign an output file name and
file type for the element rendering.
3 Make sure Elements Active (at the top of the Render Elements rollout) is
turned on, and then click Render to render the scene.
The rendered elements are also displayed on the desktop, each in its own
rendered frame window. (The rendered frame windows are displayed on
top of each other.)
To generate a Combustion
™
workspace (CWS) file that contains the rendered
elements:
1 In the Output to Combustion group, turn on Enable.
If you have assigned a file name for the entire rendering, the new element
is assigned a file name automatically. Otherwise, use the Files button in
the Output to Combustion group to assign an output file name for the
CWS file.
2 If you want to change the file or pathname click ... [ellipsis].
3 Do one of the following:
■ Render the scene. The CWS file is created at the time of the rendering.
■ Create Combustion Workspace Now.
