Chapter 23: Rendering a Scene and Enabling Quicksilver

Using the Rendered Frame Window

The Rendered Frame Window is a temporary window that holds any rendered images. Often when devel-
oping a scene, you want to test-render an image to view certain materials or transparency not visible in the
viewports. The Rendered Frame Window, shown in Figure 23.9, enables you to view these test renderings
without saving any data to the network or hard drive.

This buffer opens when you select the Rendered Frame Window option and click the Render button in the
Render Scene dialog box. You can also view images from a local hard drive or a network drive in the
Rendered Frame Window using the File ➪ View Image File menu command.
To zoom in on the buffer, hold down the Ctrl key and click the window. Right-click while holding down
the Ctrl key to zoom out. The Shift key enables you to pan the buffer image. You can also use the mouse
wheel (if you have a scrolling mouse) to zoom and pan within the frame buffer.

Tip
You can zoom and pan the image while it is rendering. n
