Once you have designed a room and established a viewpoint, you can now choose to create images of your design. 

The Virtual Worlds Create Image tool has many different features to help create renders specific to your requirements.  For example, you can choose to have a simple High Resolution or a Photorealistic render, and select many different sizes for it to be saved at.

Choose Image Quality

In the Image Quality section, toggle between High Resolution and Photorealistic.  

  • High Resolution is a basic screen grab of the current real-time rendering of the room.

     
  • Photorealistic provides more options to edit the photo quality and brightness to create a realistic render.

In the Image section, select the resolution size you want your render to be by selecting an option in the Resolution dropdown, or entering your own dimensions in the width and height fields.

Note: Bigger resolutions may take longer to render.

 

Confirm Projection Type

Check Photo Quality

Check the Photo Quality settings and brightness you want for the render.

Click the Preset drop-down to select a default set-up, or click Edit to create your own.  Detailed guidance on this section can be found here: Editing photo quality presets. 

Note: You can check how the setting from your preset selection is working before committing to the render by ticking the Test Render box in the Image section, and selecting the test resolution preset of 300x300 pixels.

Select VR Lights

In the VR Lights section, Choose to have the VR Light fittings and the VR light source visible or hidden.

 

Start or Export Render

Once resolution and other photo quality settings have been confirmed, you can now export the render.
