(If
the scene contained more than one light, you??™d also need to select the one you
want to work with from the Item drop-down.) This is a distant light and is not
the most effective lighting. To see how it lights the scene, press F9 to render the
current frame (Figure 4.10).

Figure 4.10 Pressing F9 lets you preview a render of the current frame render. By default,
the render isn??™t any different from what you see in Layout.
To see the render when you
press F9, be sure that you have
Image Viewer selected for
Render Display selected with a
chosen resolution (such as
320?—240), or choose Render
Frame from the Render dropdown.
Go to the Render tab at
the top of Layout. On the left,
under the Options category
choose Render Globals, and
then apply the various options
as shown in Figure 4.11. If your
panels start to get in the way,
feel free to move them aside as
needed to free up screen real
estate. It makes you want to go
out and get that 30-inch display
now, doesn??™t it?
Figure 4.11 To see your render in progress, set
Render Display to Image Viewer in the Render
Globals panel.
