Render Turntable Dialog

The Render Turntable dialog is described below with functions for how to access it. A list of the controls on the dialog can be found in the table below.

What It Does

Takes the scene as you can see it through the selected shader, and creates a series of images showing the model rotating through an axis. The axis of rotation is a vertical line through the current camera view, centered in the middle of the visible portion of the model. You can include custom text or thumbnails of reference images in the turntable.

How to Access It

• Right-click | Projector in Projectors Palette > Render Turntable

Render Turntable Dialog Fields

Control	Type	What it does	Notes
Settings
Size	dropdown	Selects the size of the generated images.
Antialias	dropdown	How much anti-aliasing to use in the generated images.
Background	dropdown	Selects the background for the images (Gray, Transparent, or From Canvas).	From Canvas uses the current background in Mari.
Frames	entry box, slider	Sets the number of frames to generate - how many images should be in the sequence.	Range: 1 to 1000. Default: 360
Play Animation	checkbox	If you are using animated models or textures, lets you render the turntable with the animation.	When you check this, the Frames control above becomes disabled. This is because the frame range is taken from the Play Controls Toolbar.
Offset	entry box	If you are combining multiple turntables, lets you chain together sequences by offsetting the image numbers.	For example, with an offset of 0, the first image is MariTurntable_1.jpg. With an offset of 360, the first image is MariTurntable_361.jpg. You can use this to generate one sequence of frames for the x axis, then another for the y axis.
Filters	dropdown	If this is checked, the turntable images are produced with the LUT and any other applicable view filters applied. If this is not checked, no filters are applied to the images produced.
Lighting	dropdown	Specify whether you want to render a turntable with Flat, Basic, or Full lighting.
Info
Comment	entry box, dropdown	Sets a comment to include this at the bottom of the turntable.
Text Size	entry box, slider	Sets the text size for the comment.	Range: 0.10 to 10.00. Default: 1.00
Reference	entry box, dropdown, button	Selects a reference image to include at the top right of your model.	Second dropdown specifies whether the colorspace is sRGB or Linear.
Output
Path	entry box, dropdown, button	Specifies where Mari should create the images.	Default: /local1
Template	entry box, dropdown	Sets a template for the filenames.	This must include the $FRAME variable, so Mari assigns the frame numbers correctly to the files. Mari can export turntables as either .tif, .png, .jpg, or .tga files - change the file extension in the template to set the file type. Default: MariTurntable_$FRAME.jpg
Command	entry box, dropdown	Specifies any commands to run on files after creating them.
Preview	button	Generates the first frame of the turntable, enabling you to check the placement of reference images and text.
