Render Settings Window#

The Render Settings Window allows you to configure all rendering parameters, including video output, camera setup, lighting, STL export, and reflection settings.

You can access it in two contexts:

Window

Description

Preview

Project Creator

Accessed during new project creation. Set up all render options before project initialization.

 Render Settings in Project Creator

Project Editor

Accessed via Render → Configure Render from top menubar. Modify settings for an existing project without restarting.

Video Settings#

  • Frame Format: Choose the image format for each rendered frame (e.g., PNG, JPEG).

  • Resolution: Specify the output dimensions of each frame in width × height (pixels).

—

Camera Settings#

  • Location: Set the camera’s position in the global coordinate space (X, Y, Z).

  • Focal Point: Specify the point in 3D space that the camera looks at. This defines the direction of view and is typically set relative to the object of interest (X, Y, Z).

  • Up Vector: Defines the camera’s upward direction, used to control the roll and orientation of the view. Commonly set as (0, 1, 0) for a vertical Y-axis alignment.

Light Settings#

  • Position: Specify the position of the scene light source in X, Y, and Z.

  • Power: Control the intensity (brightness) of the light illuminating the scene.

—

Other Options#

  • STL Export: Enable Save STL per Frame to export geometry at each frame—useful for CFD workflows and mesh-based post-processing.

  • Reflection Plane: Mirror the rendered geometry across a selected plane (XY, YZ, or XZ). This is particularly useful for simulating symmetrical wing pairs without duplicating sprite definitions.
