Explore the specifics of 3D model exporting, including selecting views and image size, refining details like the level of reflections, and managing potential crashes during the export process. Learn about the range of export options available, and how to make the process as efficient and effective as possible.
Key Insights
- The exporting process involves selecting the views to be exported, adjusting details such as motion blur and reflections, and determining the image size based on the model's measurements.
- Export options can include image videos for animation and panoramas for 360-degree imagery, but the cloud options are only for a premium subscription and specifically for panorama sets and presentations.
- Exporting can be a demanding process on your computer and may cause it to crash; adjusting settings like image resolution or the number of images can help manage this, and it's important to save regularly to avoid losing your work.

All right, we're done. Let's export the scene. Let's figure out how we how we get this from the 3D model to our computer like what's the process and so This is where you may run into some trouble exporting It's good to save your file now.
So that way We're not running into any sort of If it crashes we don't lose anything So what we want to do is you want to click this button in the very bottom called export This gives you all the options so local and cloud Cloud options are only for a premium subscription and it's only for panorama sets and presentations Those are both really cool tools. We will discuss in a later class of what to use those for For this one we can either use image videos for animation Panoramas which are 360 degree imagery that you can use in a vr headset and then our presentation exported element For this one we are going to be using image. We click on the image plus right here.
This is where you can select The views that you want to be exported here. We want to select three views Then we can click out then we can open up this details box. This gives you options on Adding motion blur which is for animations primarily You can render the separate sky layers as masks And then refinement this shows like the level of detail of reflections Of where they are at in your model so high meaning it's going to render out reflections from very far away all around It definitely increases your render time and your in your render Kind of speed so for here we're just going to do Turn that off And now once we are done, you know, the size of your image is dependent upon your size Inside here.
So under image. So here we're exporting these at 32 × 1800, right? If you if you then once you go to export and once you go all the way down to the bottom and click And click start export If your computer crashes all of a sudden don't freak out. Don't be upset.
It happens. It's happened to me a lot That's when I would open it back up and i'll be like, okay. So what happened? Let's see if I can slim things up I will want to Maybe decrease my resolution so that way it'll render faster things like that Or maybe I will only do one image instead of three images And just to kind of help your computer kind of work and figure out what it's doing So once you're ready to go That all you do is click start export again I will save it to make sure I have all of my latest options and things like that done And then I will hit start export I will save it in my Starting to set folder And I will I will save these just in here and I will and it'll actually name these interior view one interior view two interior view three And I will just select folder and then here it goes it will start rendering And exporting this can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours depending on your computer's power or it may go Longer than that this is kind of a challenging process And it's one that you may have to do some trial and error on how to how to get to work Pause this video the next video.
I will show On the image you can see here estimated time is only 25 minutes 15 minutes. He is dropping down really fast I'm gonna pause it here and then we will show the final images and what those look like
