Hi I'm new? Layer question?

So I heard it’s a good idea to use layers… so things don’t get too complicated.
My question is, let’s say i have 3 layers.
And I click render animation.
Does the entire animation get rendered along with the 3 layers?
Or does only the layer that I’m viewing currently get rendered? (and the other 2 are ignored).

??

Only layers that are active (the ones you are looking at) get rendered, but…
Let me tell you what I would do to check it: I’d simply hit F12 and see what gets rendered :slight_smile:

That’s the answer if you are asking about “Layers”, not “Render Layers”.
If your question is about “Render Layers” - the answer is: All render Layers get rendered unless you activate “Only render the active layer” option.

Does the entire animation get rendered along with the 3 layers?

No, viewport layers have to enabled during rendering, it is olny for a better overview during work in 3dviewport.

Ups, to slow.:evilgrin:
