- Creating your own "movie" or video.
- Individual frames of your animation will be rendered by 3DS Max or Rhino and be placed on a digital "reel."
- This "reel" is simply a directory of frames which will then be processed & compressed into a single video file.
- You can then play it with any media player on your computer (i.e. Windows Media Player, VLC Player, QuickTime, RealPlayer, etc).

- Hopefully by now you understand everything you've just read. If not, please go back and read it again. Understanding the general process of how video files work will help tremendously as you perform each step to follow.
- To begin, you must first have your 3DS scene choreographed and ready to be rendered. If you have any final touches you wish to make such as changing a camera angle, now is the time to do it.
- You have the choice of either rendering the entire animation from start to finish on a single computer or to render all the frames with a Rendering Farm and process the video on your own.
- Although the first option is easier, it takes a long time to complete.
- Therefore, you will learn how to render the frames with 3DS and process them later in a free program called VirtualDub to create your final AVI video file.
