Local Rendering

[sdthamburg]

To Whom it May Concern;

     It would be convenient to have a local rendering option. Instead of submitting to the cloud I've got twelve 3.0 GHz cores sitting idle here while the cloud is loaded.

Background rendering will be released in an upcomming release.  You will be able to preset you resolution and size like you can in the cloud render.

Local rendering is there [on the left]

Local rendering is available, but the options are far more limited than the cloud rendering. It would be nice if the two rendering options had feature parity and you could have live previews of the cloud rendering and the aditional options for the local rendering.

[roambotics_scott]

Totally agreed there 

[sdthamburg]

And precisely what I meant. Thank you for clarifying.

[roambotics_scott]

Apologies for misunderstanding

[colin.smith]

Local rendering should be available in the January release, sooner if possible.

@roambotics_scott, could you share the model so that I can look at materials related issues?  Thanks.

[roambotics_scott]

This came up a long time ago but it's very easy to accidentally interrupt local rendering with a stray tilt or rotation gesture. 

It'd be great if there were at least the option for an «are you really sure you want to interrup the render that's been going on for ~600s ?» prompt.

Hi, I really really need this feature.. or forced to by keyshot to do this... but I think fuision is pretty darn close to the same render quality so would rather have this feature in fusion.

Also, would be great to have Alpha in hi-res image captures. Please make this feature soon! This would make Fusion 360 even Greater!

Is there a script to do this till its in the build?

Great idea Scott - we're working on a background rendering project that will solve this... you should see it available in the spring. 

[roambotics_scott]

Thanks, Timera !

It is currnently very easy to destroy a local renderig by accidently click-moving the mouse over the screen when operating another application  while Fusion 360 is rendering.

Perhaps we can have  button to lock the viewport during rendering so that does not happen.

Merged the two threads Discussion_Admin

Shouldn't need a button. It should be locked by default when you start rendering locally and then ask for confirmation to change the view (unless the user intentionally disables that)

Based on the topic, we have local rendering today. As for the recent comments, we now have cloud background rendering so that you can continue working on your designs as the rendering is happening. Also, clicking on the rendering as it happens locally doesn't interrupt the render. Only zooming and panning will. We are working on unifying local and could rendering engines so that they have a consistent quality.
