Better Menus!!
Render Viewport Menu:
Maximum Subdivision Level: Set the highest subdivision level directly from the panel for detailed mesh smoothing.
Disable Overlays: Temporarily turn off viewport overlays for a clearer view while rendering, affecting only the render output, not the viewport display.
Parent Disable Transparency: Deactivate transparency effects in the final render without changing viewport visibility.
MP4 with Audio: Choose this setting to render your project as an MP4 file, including audio tracks.
PNG with Alpha: Select this option for renders that require transparency, outputting as a PNG file with alpha channel.
Single JPG: Opt for a single-frame JPEG render, ideal for still images.
Single PNG: Choose to render a single-frame PNG, useful for still images with retained quality.
Name: Specify the name of your render, customizing how the output file is identified.
Show Render: Displays the render result in a separate OpenCV window upon completion.
Frame Start: Set the beginning frame of your render sequence.
Frame End: Specify the ending frame for your render.
Output Path: Designate where your rendered files are saved, defaulting to a “FAST Render” folder for easy access.
Prepare Render: (Test Feature) Initiates a render preparation mode, disabling and then re-enabling objects sequentially to optimize the rendering process.
OK: Begins rendering your scene with ‘Viewport Render’ or ‘Viewport Render Animation’. As EVEE is a real-time rendering engine, this is practically the same as EVEE render.
