Range-Type Rendering
Normally you wouldn??™t find too much information in this chapter about single-frame
rendering, because this is a very old process not often used anymore. This process involved
a special cable connected to a broadcast-quality tape recorder. From there, using a singleframe
command setting, LightWave would render a frame, then record it directly to tape.
Today, animators render to digital movie formats, such as AVI or QuickTime, and also
image sequences. Press F9, and you??™ve rendered a single current frame. But there??™s more
to this feature in LightWave v9. At the top of the Render Globals panel, you??™ll see a selection
named Range Type. Here, you have three options for rendering:
?—? Single. Setting Range Type to Single tells LightWave to render one frame at a
time. Pretty easy, huh?
?—? Arbitrary. This cool setting enables you render a range of frames. Let??™s say you
wanted to render frames 1 through 10, as well as 12, 13, and 20.
