Choose the Best Render Settings on Blender

Choosing the necessary settings for render is very crucial to making the best and most efficient art. These steps will show what the most used controls for the Blender internal renders are. If you want to get into more complex options, try reading the descriptions for each button.

Steps

1. Choose an output directory. Also choose a file type.
2. Choose a resolution. 1920x1080px is the default, but you might want to change it. Also, below it, try using a smaller (proportional) size. 100% is the size you specified at the right. 50% will cut rendering time to about 1/4 or more, so use that for previewing.
3. Click on the render layers you need for rendering, and compositing afterwards. If you are not compositing, you will not need to choose Layer settings.
4. Choose the shading options. These will affect your render quality, and speed. Disable one or two to for just previewing your work.
5. Choose an anti-aliasing sample number. The higher the number, the better the render will be, at the cost of time.
6. Add motion blur, if you want.
7. Select 'Do Composite' if you are using Use the Compositor in Blender.
8. Choose your correct Performance settings. It should be fine by default, but make sure, if this is wrong your render times will be slower by a lot.
9. Hit render! F12 or the Render Image or Animation button. Also choose if you want to see the render on another window or in the main window.

Tips

  1. Go to task manager

Warnings
