Rendering Frames and Image Sequences

Foxel can render either a single frame or a sequence of frames from a camera.

Single-frame rendering is useful for still images. Image-sequence rendering is useful for animations or for exporting frames to be combined in other tools.

Rendering a Single Frame

To render a single frame:

1. Set up your scene and choose the camera you want to render.
2. Set the desired frame in the Timeline.
3. Select Render > Render Current Frame.
4. Adjust the render settings in the dialog.
5. Start the render.

Foxel renders the current frame and saves the result to the selected output location.

Rendering an Image Sequence

To render multiple frames:

1. Set up your scene and choose the camera you want to render.
2. Set the playback range in the Timeline.
3. Select Render > Render Image Sequence.
4. Adjust the render settings in the dialog.
5. Start the render.

Foxel renders all frames in the selected range and saves them as individual image files.

Render Dialog

The render dialog includes the settings used for frame and sequence rendering.

• Camera
  The camera used for rendering.

• Frame or Range
  The current frame or the selected playback range.

• Output Folder
  The folder where rendered images are saved.

• File Naming
  Controls how output files are named.

• Filename Prefix
  A text prefix added to each file name.

• Frame Number Padding
  The number of digits used for frame numbers.

• Image Format
  The output image format.

• Render with MagicaVoxel (Experimental)
  Enables rendering through MagicaVoxel instead of Foxel's built-in renderer. For more information, see Remote Rendering with MagicaVoxel.

File Naming Example

A typical file naming pattern is:

prefix###.ext

For example, with the prefix scene_, three-digit padding, and the format png, the output files would look like this:

• scene_001.png
• scene_002.png
• scene_010.png
