- Clicking the
button in the 3Delight Shelf. - Clicking the Render button in the Render Settings.
- Choosing the 3Delight → Render menu item.
If the scene contains several Render Settings, you may start an interactive rendering using a specific Render Settings by doing one of the following:
- Right-clicking in the 3Delight Shelf and selecting the desired Render Settings.
- Choosing the desired Render Settings under the 3Delight → Render With: menu.

Starting a Live (IPR) Rendering
A Live Rendering continuously monitors the Maya scene and will refresh to display the scene changes. The rendered image of the current frame is shown in 3Delight Display or the Maya Render View, without motion blur. No image files are output during a live rendering. You can choose where the rendered image will be displayed in the 3Delight Preferences.
A live rendering can be started by one of the following:
- the
button in the 3Delight Shelf, or - the
button in the Render Settings.
