Once the Slides have been exported via the export dialog above you will be presented with the Render Engines settings dialog.
The render dialog settings control how the Presente3D Render engine is launched and outputted to your display.
Rendering System Options
The rendering system dialog has 3 major parameters that effect how Presente3D render engine is displayed on your output display.
FSAA: (Full Screen Anti-aliasing):
Full screen anti-aliasing (FSAA) is a method used by your computers 3D Graphics card to provide anti-aliasing to all objects in in the Presente3D renderer. It acts to smooth out the jagged appearance of edges on some 3D objects. Different graphics cards have different implementations of FSAA, and image quality varies greatly.
Presente3D gets all current FSAA values from the graphics card and displays them in the drop down menu for FSAA in the Render Dialog.
The higher the value the smoother the edges. Increasing the value requires more processing power. Presente3D defaults to a mid-level selection for FSAA. You can increase the value as necessary to improve visual quality.
Output Device:
Presente3D allows you to output the Presente3D render engine on any display connected to the computer. By selecting the Output Device option in the Render dialog you can select which device you would like to output to.
Output Device options for Computer with two displays.
Presente3D determines the Output Device number assigned by the the graphics card. You can check the id by right clicking the Computers desktop and going to Screen Resolution: Sample screen is shown below:
Video Mode:
Presente3D can run in a windowed mode or a full screen mode when running the Presente3D render engine.
Running your Presentation in Full Screen Mode:
By selecting the current resolution of your display from the Video Mode Selection box will run Presente3D in a Full Screen Mode.
Selecting Resolution for the Video Mode in the render dialog
Presente3D Render Engine will run in full screen mode since 1920 x 1080 matches current display
Note: To Exit Full Screen Mode hit the ESC key.
Running your Presentation in Windowed Mode:
By selecting a resolution lower than the current resolution of your display will run Presente3D in a Windowed mode.
Example of Presente3D running in a Windowed Mode
Note: You can exit Windowed mode by selecting the X in the top right corner or by pressing the ESC key.
