Saving the scene as an image

Vision allows you to create still images of the Scene window displaying the current lighting status. When the Scene window displays four viewports, the bottom right viewport is used to create the image. Still images are saved in .jpg format. Specify the image render settings, and optionally save them as a preset. For more information on saving and managing the Render Still presets, see Using saved sets.

Many of the same parameters display when setting the Vision application preferences; see Vision preferences: Graphics tab for parameter descriptions

Render Buffer Size

To help achieve the desired resolution, select a size that is smaller than the Resolution in the Render Still dialog box.

Smaller sizes increase the render time, but also make it possible to render high-resolution images.

● To use the currently specified settings without saving them as a preset, click OK.

6.From the Render Still dialog box, select the image Resolution. If the image will be printed, set the dpi.

For finer control of the print size, set the Resolution to Custom Print Size and specify the Print Size dimensions.

7.Click the button next to the Output Filename field, and set a name and location for the image file.
