VERY green to Rendering
 

Hey, i'm very new to rendering. I (think I) know how to render just a frame (F9?) but i want to render an animation.

Can anyone explaine it carefully how to render?

F10 renders the animation

go to render/ render globals to change a couple of the settings for your animation......select the output tab to set animation options- things like where you want to save the file to, what the format must be etc........

is this what u wanted to no?

Yes, thanks, this is what I wanted to do, a video file.

BUT, the quality is veeerryy baad. Is there any way i could make the video cleaner and nicer?

put on antialiasing- that will smooth out the jaggered edges...
under render/render globals select the filtering tab and change antialiasing to about 5 pass..... that should b ok, but its going to slooooooooow down the render speed

u can post some screen shots up here and we can look at it and give suggestions.......

It's a simple animation just a wheel (tyre?) mooving around.

Something went wrong, I can't edit and attach a file to the preious messege :S so hereit is:

u using an area light there arnt u? - may need to put on noise reduction on the render tab but once again its going to kill yr render times

noise reduction was checked but still i get this unclean picture...

hmmmmmmm ok try this- in lights/properties under the basic tab- make sure your area light quality is around 4 or even 5 and that you are rendering with antialiasing on... that plus noise reduction should work
