Selected Element Parameters group
These controls are for editing selected elements in the list.
Enable Turn on to enable rendering the selected elements. Turn off to disable
rendering. Default=on.
The Enabled column of the elements list shows whether or not an element is
enabled.
Enable Filtering When on, applies the active
antialiasing filter on page 5954
to the rendered element. When off, the rendered element does not use the
antialiasing filter. Default=on.
The Filter column of the elements list shows whether or not the filter is enabled
for an element.
Disabling antialiasing can improve rendering time, although the rendered
element that results might appear jagged.
NOTE Turning off Enable Filter disables only general antialiasing and map filtering.
Edge blending still occurs when this switch is off.
Name Shows the name of the currently selected element. You can type in
a custom name for the element.
This control is unavailable when multiple elements are selected.
Files The text box lets you enter a path and file name for the element. Click
the Files button to display a Render Element Output File dialog, which lets
you choose a folder, file name, and file type for the element.
This control is unavailable when multiple elements are selected.
Output to Combustion group
When on, generates a
Combustion Workspace (CWS) file on page 7121 that
contains the elements you are rendering. You can use this file in the
Combustion software, and you can use Combustion workspaces in the
Combustion map on page 5649 .
WARNING If you are rendering elements to composite over a background, make
sure that the file format for the Diffuse, Shadows, and Alpha elements supports
an alpha channel. The formats we recommend for this purpose are: RLA on page
7156 ,
RPF on page 7159 , PNG on page 7152 , or TGA on page 7162 .
