Rendering · Finial

Export

Export the finished render at full size, and save the recipe as a file to reuse on other views.

Export the image #

Click Export PNG or Export JPEG in the toolbar.

While you work, Finial runs the recipe on a smaller preview so sliders stay quick. Export runs the same recipe again on the full-size render, so it can take a moment. The line under the picture shows the size it exports at, and a note confirms the size when it's done.

The file is named after your render with "finial" added, so the original is never overwritten.

PNG keeps every detail. JPEG makes a smaller file for email and slides.

Export is off until something is wired into Final, and in the signed-out demo.

Save the recipe #

Open Recipe and click Download this recipe (.finial.json). The file holds the blocks, their settings, the wires and the placed people. It doesn't hold the render.

Name the recipe first: with no block selected, type it in Recipe name in the side panel. The file takes that name.

Use a recipe on another view #

  1. Open the next render with Open render….
  2. If the recipe isn't still loaded, open Recipe, click Open a recipe file…, and pick the .finial.json file.
  3. Check the eye level in any People and Haze blocks, and move the figures to fit the new view.
  4. Export.

The same recipe gives every view in a set the same finish.
