31 Rendering click the Process button. However, this does not apply when using the stand-alone Autodesk Combustion Render Queue. Quality-Sets the incoming image quality. Keep in mind that Best quality input to highly compressed output settings will still result in a low-quality render. If you are outputting a low-quality clip for cursory review, you can save render time by selecting a lower quality setting without impacting the final result too severely. Settings-Sets anti-aliasing, supersampling, and render effects options, as well as which view to render from. These settings are only available for 3D composites. In the Settings dialog, the Use Current option is enabled by default, so the options in the Settings controls of the composite will be used for rendering. Disable Use Current to change the settings. For information on the anti-aliasing and supersampling options, see "Changing Display Quality" in Chapter 2, "Welcome to Combustion''. For information on the render effects options, see "Displaying Lighting and Surface Effects" in Chapter 2, "Welcome to Combustion''. For information on the available views, see "Changing View Modes" in Chapter 2, "Welcome to Combustion''. Frame Size-Controls the pixel resolution at which an image is rendered. Select an option from the list, or select Custom and enter a custom width and height in the fields. Use the Lock button to constrain the aspect ratio when setting a custom size. Width and Height fields Lock button Bit Depth-Sets the bit depth of the rendered files. Only a few formats support higher bit depth. The Original Depth shows the bit depth of the output's operator. Filename-Specifies the path and name for the rendered file(s). Click the Filename button to use the file browser to select a directory and filename, or type the information directly. The filename can contain spaces and all alphanumeric characters, except the following: If you do not enter a file extension, the file extension corresponding to the video format is used. The file extension and selected video format must always correspond. If you change the output format in the Format list, the file extension is updated in the Filename field. Increment Button -Appends a number (preceded by an underscore) to the filename, or increases the appended number by one digit. Ctrlclick to decrease the number. Each time you click the button, the appended number changes by one digit. Force Starting Frame Number-Controls the output filenames used for sequences. Enter the required number for the first frame in the field. For example, if you render a JPEG sequence, the following files are created: myfile0001.jpg, myfile0002.jpg, myfile0003.jpg, and so on. If you enable Force Starting Frame Number and type 55 in the field, the output files will be: myfile0055, myfile0056, myfile0057, and so on. Note: You can pad the number in filenames as required. For example, you can enter File[#####].tga to make TARGA images with five numbers, for example, File00012.tga. Skip Existing Files-Prevents re-rendering of existing frames. This option is useful when you want to use several computers to render one sequence 754
