Setting the image size for rendering
You set the size that an image will be rendered in the Render Settings window.
For this lesson, you render the image at a size that allows you to evaluate the
caustic effect.
To set the image size for rendering
1 At the top of the Render Settings window, select the Common tab and
open the Image Size settings.
2 Choose the 640 X 480 preset from the Presets drop-down list.
Setting render presets for raytracing
For the first rendering, you render the scene to see how the shadows appear
without using caustics.
To set Render options for raytracing
1 In the Render Settings window, select the Quality tab and set the Quality
Presets setting to Production.
The Production preset ensures that the refraction level settings (found in
Raytracing Quality section) are at a level high enough to render objects
with translucency (for example, the bottle). The Production preset also
sets the anti-aliasing level for the image.
2 Close the Render Settings Window.
