super helpful site, appreciate the large playback windows, C4D interface can be a bit daunting at times, helps to see exactly what you guys are doing during the tutes.
Strange question but i’ve been looking all over for this. I’ve used cinema 12 for a long time and have only just noticed now (don’t laugh) that I can set picture viewer to render at full resolution.. Until now I have always thought picture viewer for preview and full render for full render.
I was just wondering if I was using full resolution and rendered to picture viewer, would all my render settings still be kept? And would the outcome be exactly the same as if I rendered properly.
in short: is picture viewer just rendering the same thing but visually not just in background?
A reply or email would be much appreciated and would stop my searching.
Thanks
I can’t see/view any of your tutorials, do you have an alternative method for viewing?
Thanx,

When you want to render to a file, you select Render to Picture Viewer. Only then will all of the settings you set in the Render Setting dialog will be used. If you want to do a quick preview to make sure your animation and such are correct prior to committing to a long render, then you would use Make Preview. If you use CMD/Ctrl R it just renders your view but doesn’t save a file. Does that answer your question?
