Exporting Render Views - Concepts
You may export the current render view as a JPG or BMP format image for use in other software applications. This export capability allows you to share your work with others either in the form of still images or in the form of an interactive world.
The file type you export is decided at the dialog level after you choose the Export command.
Bitmap (BMP) file type
A bitmap is a still image of the current Render view. Bitmaps can be printed or imported into other software programs for publication. Bitmaps are quite suitable for desktop publishing because they contain raw image data with no compression algorithms. The BMP file AGi32 exports is saved at the maximum available resolution to preserve the clarity and integrity of the image for later use.
JPEG (JPG) file type
A JPG is also a still image of the current view. The JPG file AGi32 exports is saved at the maximum available resolution to preserve the clarity and integrity of the image for later use. JPEG images use lossy compression to generate smaller file sizes with fairly high quality. Generally speaking, for screen presentations,you will have a hard time differentiating between Bitmap and JPEG images, and should use the JPG format for output. For desktop publishing, where large image sizes are typically desired, the Bitmap file format is preferred.
