Render to File Settings Menu

[bedheadben]

Hello, recently I discovered that while working with A:M for a while, and rendering things using a few of the different pre-set options, all of a sudden the pre-set rendering options started to dissappear! (see the picture below) Can anyone tell me if there is an easy solution to this? If it helps, I am using A:M 2006, and using a MacBook.

Hi,

 

I'm not sure why the other options are not showing, but try clicking the Advanced checkbox, which I leave on all the time. Advanced simply shows you all the options as a list without the icons.

Ya, I tried that, and that's good, but I sometimes don't want to spent 10-15 minutes setting up the options in there just to end up getting a super pixelated render. I also can't figure out how to NOT render things in passes without it looking like there was only one pass. And yes, i have the quality set to Final.

What type of file are you rendering to and what compression are you using? Maybe if you could post a photo. Pixelation can be caused by too much compression. What does a final rendered TGA look like?

[bedheadben]

I final rendered TGA is a little small in size, and it also distorts my picture, and if I make it a aspect ratio of 1 it puts a white bar at the top, so here is a final rendered TGA (which looks low quality to me):

 

 

But this is getting beside the point, and the point is, I want my presets back, so how will I get them?

[Bruce Del Porte]

What were your presets? Turn on the advanced option, reset them to what you want and they will stay until you change them again.

 

I see some jpeg compression artifacting and maybe some noise from a resolution change. Can you post the original TGA as a file?
