Limited Region settings are also useful for creating images for Web sites using LightWave.
Perhaps you want to animate a small spinning globe or a rotating 3D head. Rendering in a
standard resolution draws unwanted areas, creating images that are not only the correct size
but also larger. Setting up a limited region can decrease file size and create renders in the
exact size you need, such as a perfect square. Limited Region essentially renders a portion
of what normally would be a larger image.Try using a Web GIF animation program and render
out a series of small GIF files, set up with a limited region. The GIF animation program
imports the sequence of images to create one playable file. Limited Region works differently
from a custom resolution. You can specify a limited region as any size and for any area on
the screen, whereas setting a custom resolution sets only the specific size for the center of the
screen.
