Learning Blender: A Hands-On Guide to Creating 3D Animated Characters

Final Rendering Results

Only one thing is left to do: click the Render button. Depending on whether you want to render a single frame or the whole animation, on the Render tab, click Render or Animation.

If you’re becoming proficient with Blender, go ahead and use the keyboard shortcuts: F12 for a still-frame render and Ctrl + F12 to render the whole animation. In Figure 14.12, you’ll see the results in both Blender Render and Cycles.
