way to render your animations if you do not use
Video Toaster NT.The individual frames can later

Render Selected Objects
If you click the Render tab in Layout, you??™ll see the Sel Object option under the Render
category on the left of the interface. Because LightWave enables you to select multiple
objects, you can save significant amounts of rendering time with this option. In the Scene
Editor or in Layout, you can select all objects at once by holding the Shift key and clicking
the objects. Rendering selected objects has two useful functions:
?—? It saves render time by rendering only the objects you??™re interested in at the
moment.
?—? It enables you to render multiple passes of the same animation with or without
certain objects. This is great for special effects or compositing, or even for rendering
before-and-after sorts of animations.
Thoughts on Rendering
You can refer to this section of the book often when it??™s time to render your animations
and images. But then you have to answer the question that arises: ???What??™s next????When
your animations are complete, the next step is to bring them into a digital animation
recorder and lay them off to tape or edit your final animations with audio and effects in
a nonlinear editor.
