Fishman Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 You've pretty much got it. If you have not done any animation, just a still that you've set up with all the lighting, then just change the frame range to start at 0:00:00 and end at 0:00:00 and it will rneder frame 0. If you've done an animation and you want to render a still from the middle of it, say frame 68, then set the frame range from 68 to 68, depending on your frames per second it will result in different looks. If you are rendering at 30 frames per second(fps), then it will read 0:02:08. You get the idea! Have fun, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishman Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 When you are ready to render to file, where it says format, click on the file type and change it to jpeg or tga or bmp or whatever still type you want. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
