FIGURE 23.1
You use the Render Scene dialog box to render the final output.

Initiating a render job
At the bottom of the Render Scene dialog box are several controls that are visible for all panels; these con-
trols let you initiate a render job. The render modes are Production, Iterative (a selection in the drop-down
list), and ActiveShade. Each of these modes can use a different renderer with different render settings as
defined using the Assign Renderer rollout.
Note
If any objects in the rendered scene are missing mapping coordinates, then a dialog box appears as you try to ren-
der the scene with options to Continue or Cancel. A similar dialog box appears for any missing external files or
any missing XRefs with options to continue, cancel, or browse from the missing file. n
