Rendering is pretty much the last step in converting your 3D models to images or animations using Blender. The better that the Blender rendering settings are understood, whether you are making still images or full animations, can provide higher-quality results with as little render time as possible.
Steps to Render in Blender
Set Up the Scene
Ensure that your object, lights and camera are correctly positioned within the scene.
Use more realistic lights from Area Lights, or Sun Lamp if you are working outdoors.
Choose a Render Engine
Eevee and Cycles are the main Blender render engines.
Eevee: a fast, realtime renderer providing less physically accurate results
Cycles: Produces impressive photo real finishes — however, it takes much more computing power/water to.
Adjust Render Settings
Sample Rate: This is in the Render Properties tab and controls how good your render will be. More samples mean better image quality but longer renders times.
Remember: Match the Resolution to your desired output and determine if using a PNG or JPEG is better for stills, or MP4/AVI for animations.
Rendering the Scene
Once you have your settings set up, hit F12 to begin rendering a single image, or go to Render > Render Animation to render an animation sequence.
How to Optimize Renders in Blender
Denoising: In Cycles, activate the denoising option in order to diminish noise appearing on your renderings without upping sample rate.
GPU Rendering: If you have a hardware that supports it turn on GPU rendering as it will considerably save time.
This flexibility in Blender, makes it one of the most powerful tools for beginners and pros to get stunning quality renders.
