TIME OUTPUT
In this section, you can set the frame range of your render output by selecting
one of the following options (shown here):
Single This option renders the current frame only. The frame range is set to
single by default.

The Common tab in
the Render Scene
dialog box
Active Time Segment This option renders the frame range in the timeline.
Range This option renders the frame range specified in the text boxes.
Frames This option renders the frames typed in the text box. You can enter frame numbers
separated by commas or specified as ranges, such as 3??“13, to render only the specified
frames.
Every Nth Frame This option is enabled when you are rendering more than one frame. It
allows you to render every nth frame, where n is a whole number, so you can specify how
many frames to skip.
Typically, you will be rendering single frames as you model, texture, and light the scene.
The closer you are to final rendering, especially for scenes with moving cameras or lights,
the more likely you will need to render a sequence of images to check the animation of the
scene and how the lighting works. This is where the Every Nth Frame function comes in
very handy.
