Revision as of 10:24, 23 June 2014

Time Narration
00:05 Welcome to the series of Blender tutorials.
00:09 This tutorial is about the properties window in Blender 2.59.
00:16 This script has been contributed by Sneha Deorukhkar and Bhanu Prakash and edited by Monisha Banerjee
00:29 After watching this tutorial, we shall learn what is the Properties window;
00:35 what is the Render panel in the Properties window;
00:39 what are the various settings in the Render panel of the Properties window
00:45 I assume that you know the basic elements of the Blender interface.
00:50 If not then please refer to our earlier tutorial - Basic Description of the Blender Interface.
00:58 The Properties window contains various panels. It is located on the right hand side of our screen.
01:08 At the top of the Properties window, there is a row of icons .
01:14 These icons represent the different panels which come under the Properties section.
01:21 Render, Scene, World, Object, etc.
01:30 These panels contain various settings which are very useful while working in Blender.
01:37 We must resize our Properties window for better viewing and understanding.
01:43 Left click the left edge of the Properties window, hold and drag to the left.
01:52 We can see the options in the Properties window more clearly now.
01:59 To learn how to resize the Blender windows see our tutorial - How to Change Window Types in Blender
02:12 Render is the first panel in the Properties Window.
02:16 By default, it gets displayed on the Blender Interface whenever we open Blender.
02:23 The settings in this panel are used to create the final output of the animation.
02:31 Image is used to render a single frame image of the active camera view.
02:39 Left click image . For keyboard shortcut, press F12.
02:48 The active camera view is rendered as a single frame image.
02:55 Press ESC on your keyboard to return to the 3D view.
03:03 Animation is used to render an entire range of frames or an image sequence and create a movie file.
03:13 By default, the frame range is 1 to 250 on the timeline.
03:22 Left click Animation. The entire frame range from frame 1 to frame 250 is getting rendered.
03:39 Press Esc to stop the render progress.
03:43 Press Esc to return to the 3D view.
03:48 Go to Display in the Render panel.
03:52 Display helps us choose how to view the render progress on the Screen
03:58 By Default, the display is in Image Editor mode. Let me demonstrate.
04:05 Press F12 to render the active camera view.
04:09 The Render Display appears as the UV/Image Editor.
04:15 The 3D view changes to the UV/Image Editor everytime we render the active camera view.
04:22 To learn about the UV/Image Editor, see the tutorial Types of windows - UV/Image Editor
04:31 Press Esc to return to the 3D view.
04:36 Go to Display in the Render panel. Left click image editor.
04:44 This drop-down menu shows a list of render display options.
04:51 Left click to select Full Screen.
04:55 Press F12 to render the active camera view.
05:01 Now, the entire Blender screen gets replaced by the UV/Image editor
05:09 Press Esc to exit the full screen render mode and return to the Blender workspace.
05:16 Go to Display in the Render panel. Left click Full screen. Select New window from the list.
05:28 Press F12 to render the active camera view.
05:31 Now, the Render Display appears as a new window over the Blender Workspace.
05:39 You will find this very useful when rendering previews of your animation.
05:44 We shall see how to do this in later tutorials.
05:50 Close the Render Display window.
05:55 Go to Display in the Render panel. Left click New Window.
06:01 Left click to select Image editor mode. The display is in Image Editor mode.
06:08 Next setting we shall see is Dimensions. Here we can customize the various render presets depending on our required output.
06:20 Left Click Render Presets. A drop-down menu appears.
06:27 Here is a list of all major render presets. DVCPRO, HDTV, NTSC, PAL etc.
06:41 For now, we shall leave these aside and proceed to the Render Dimension settings
06:49 Resolution is the width and height of the Render Display and the active Camera view
06:56 By Default, in Blender 2.59, the resolution is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
07:09 50% is the percentage scale of the Render resolution.
07:14 That means only 50% of the actual resolution will be rendered. Let me explain.
07:22 Press F12 to render the active camera view. This is the default render resolution.
07:29 It is only half or 50% of the actual resolution
07:35 Close the render display window .
07:40 Left click and hold 50% under Resolution in the Render Panel, and drag to the right.
07:50 The percentage changes to 100%. Another way to change the percentage is -
08:00 Left click 100%. Now type 100 on the keyboard and press enter.
08:12 Press F12 to render the active camera view.
08:18 Here is a full 100% resolution render of 1920 by 1080 pixels
08:27 Close the render display windows. Now, I want to change the resolution to 720 by 576 pixels
08:38 Left click 1920. Type 720 on your keyboard and press enter
08:49 Again, Left click 1080. Type 576 on your keyboard and press enter.
09:00 Press F12 to render the active camera view.
09:07 Here is a full 100% resolution render of 720 by 576 pixels
09:16 Close the render display window.
09:21 Go to Frame range under Dimensions in the Render Panel.
09:26 Frame Range determines the renderable animation length for your movie.
09:33 As I said before, by default, the frame range is 1 to 250.
09:39 Left click Start 1. Type 0 on your keyboard and press enter.
09:51 This is the starting frame or first frame of our animation length
09:57 Left click End 250. Type 100 on your keyboard and press enter.
10:08 This is the ending frame or last frame of our animation length.
10:16 So now we have a new frame range for our animation.
10:22 Go to Timeline , below the 3D view.
10:26 Notice how the timeline display has changed now because we changed the Frame range in the Render panel.
10:35 To learn about the Timeline window, see the tutorial Types of Windows - Timeline.
10:45 Go to Aspect Ratio under Dimensions in the Render Panel.
10:53 Notice that when we changed the resolution, the aspect ratio changed as well.
11:01 Frame rate determines the number of frames animating in one second in our movie.
11:09 By default, it is 24 fps or frames per second.
11:16 Left click 24 fps. A drop-down menu appears.
11:25 Here is a list of all major frame rates used while making an animation movie.
11:31 You can choose any one depending on your requirement.


11:37 Left click FPS 24. Type 15 on your keyboard and press enter.
11:48 So now our frame rate has changed to 15 frames per second.
11:55 Next is Output. Do you see this horizontal bar with tmp written on the left and a file browser icon on the right?
12:07 Here we can specify the output folder for our Render files.
12:13 Left click the file browser icon.
12:18 To learn about File Browser, see the tutorial Types of Windows - File Browser and Info Panel.
12:28 Select your output folder. I am selecting My Documents.
12:35 Left click Create new directory. Type OUTPUT and press enter .
12:46 Left click Output to open the folder.
12:51 Left click Accept. Now all our Render files will be saved in the Output Folder in My Documents.
13:03 Below the Output Folder bar is the Image format menu.
13:08 Here we can choose our Output format for our Render images and movie files
13:13 Left click PNG. Here is a list of all formats supported in Blender.
13:20 We have image formats and movie formats.
13:25 We can select any one depending on our requirements.
13:30 Below PNG are the three color modes used in Blender. BW is the grayscale mode.
13:38 RGB is selected by default. RGB is the colour mode that saves Render files with RGB data.
13:48 RGBA saves render files with an additional data called Alpha channel.
13:54 This works only with certain image formats that support Alpha channel rendering.
14:01 So , that was about render panel.
14:05 So, in this tutorial we have covered render panel under the Properties window.
14:11 The rest of the panels shall be covered in the next tutorials.
14:17 Now, go ahead and create a new Blend file. Change the Render Display to New window.
14:25 Change resolution to 720 by 576 100%. Change frame range to 0 to 100.
14:38 Change frame rate to 15 fps. Create an Output folder for the render files.
