Question #1, How do I make a movie with blender but make it render each frame then save it?
Question #2, Is their a way to add motion blur and specular effects with blender? And are their tutorials on how to use the materials and shaders menu?
I really appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.
#1: In the render panels, select an image type (ie targa, jpeg, tiff) personally I like targas myself. Then hit the big animation button. It should save your frames individually.
#2: There is a lot of information on these topic, but a good place to start is the user manual
