The Render View is a dedicated mode for exporting your visualization as video or still images. It replaces the normal editing viewport with a preview display and export controls.
Render mode is activated from the 3D editor when switching to the render/export view. In this mode, scene editing is not available -- you see the rendered output and export controls instead.
Three export modes are available, selectable via tabs at the top of the controls:
Exports consume credits from your workspace balance. The cost is calculated as:
Base Cost (100 credits) x Duration Factor x Resolution Factor x Environment Factor
Based on scene duration relative to a 5-second baseline. A 10-second scene costs 2x, a 2.5-second scene costs 0.5x. Still images use a flat 0.75x factor instead.
| Resolution | Factor |
|---|---|
| 360p (640x360) | 0.75x |
| HD (1280x720) | 0.75x |
| Full HD (1920x1080) | 1.0x (baseline) |
| Vertical (1080x1920) | 1.0x |
| 4K (3840x2160) | 4.0x |
| 8K (7680x4320) | 16.0x |
| Custom | Based on pixel count vs 1080p |
Depends on the environment preset used in the scene. Ranges from 1.0x to 5.0x. More complex environments cost more to render.
The controls area shows:
If your credit balance is insufficient, a warning is displayed and the export button is disabled.
The main area shows:
Active exports show a progress bar with:
A railway-style traffic light indicator shows render activity:
Export progress updates via WebSocket for live feedback. If the WebSocket connection is unavailable, polling at 10-15 second intervals is used as a fallback.
Click the Render Preview, Render Still, or Render Video button to start an export. The system checks your credit balance before proceeding. Only one export can be active at a time.
Click Cancel Rendering to cancel an in-progress export. Available only while the export is actively processing.
Completed exports show a download button. The button label indicates the format:
Downloads generate a temporary URL and trigger a browser download.
Completed, failed, or cancelled exports can be deleted from the list using the trash icon.
The bottom panel has four tabs:
Lists all preview-only exports for the current scene, sorted newest first. Each entry shows a thumbnail, filename, date, file size, status, and action buttons.
Lists all full exports (still images and videos) for the current scene. Same format as the Previews tab.
Shows a detailed cost breakdown for the next export, including each cost factor, its multiplier, and the running total.
When an export is selected: shows job status, creation time, resolution, format, and download link.
When idle: shows scene name, duration, resolution, environment name, total export count, and credit balance.
Use the back navigation to return to the normal 3D editing viewport. Export jobs continue processing in the background and can be monitored from the Export Panel in the settings sidebar.
