Previewing and Rendering Channels

You can preview and render data in your active render channels in several ways:

- Click Render > Render Current Pass, Render Selected Passes, or Render All Passes in the render manager. The channel images are output automatically.

- Right-click on a row in the Render Channels Output table (on the Output tab of a pass’ render options) and choose Run Flipbook to launch that render channel in the standalone Flipbook player.

- You can display the output for each render channel in a render region, see Displaying a Render Channel in the Render Region.

- Choose Render > Preview from the Render toolbar, see Previewing a Single Frame.

- When working in the render manager or the render tree, shaderballs give you a quick preview of a material or shader. They update automatically as you change settings, see Using Shaderballs.
