The Export workspace allows you to export high-quality renders of your scene.
Export settings
Before hitting the Export image button, you can adjust the following settings to control what Viewer exports:
- Format: Select the image format.
- Transparent background: Select whether the background is exported as transparent. This option is only available for file formats that support transparency.
- Show 3D model to image overlay: If you've generated an image using your model, you can toggle this checkbox to switch between exporting the generated image, or the model by itself.
Render settings
For the most realistic results, you can turn on Ray tracing under render settings. Turning on ray tracing enables the following options:
- Render quality: Change how many samples are used to render the final image. More samples means a higher level of quality with less noise, but it also means longer rendering time.
- Remove noise: Run a denoising algorithm on the render to reduce the amount of noise. This is particularly useful on lower quality renders.
