Rendering
Rendering "fills in" geometry with color, shadow, lighting effects, and so on.
Rendering shades the scene's geometry using the lighting you've set up, the materials you've
applied, and environment settings, such as background and atmosphere. You use the Render
Scene dialog
on page 5878 to create renderings and save them to files. Renderings are also
displayed on the screen, in a
rendered frame window on page 5885 .
TIP When you render a very large image, you might get a message that says “Error
Creating Bitmap,” or that says you are out of RAM. If this happens, turn on the Bitmap
Pager. You turn on the Bitmap Pager in Rendering Preferences on page 7560 . The Bitmap
Pager prevents a rendering from hanging because of overuse of memory. On the other
hand, it slows down the rendering process.
