Render Only What The Camera Sees

[CurtYoung]

Hello!

I have a big scene and I’ve noticed Blender renders EVERYTHING, even objects that won’t be viewed because they’re too far for the camera (to far on x, y or z axis).

How did I noticed that?
I render a frame with everything = 12 seconds
Then I render the same frame though I manually hide every objects that won’t be visible in the camera = 2 seconds.

The image is the same, though it’s 6 time faster!!!

Is there a way to automatically render only what the camera is able to see?

Thanks!

You can tweak the clipping values of the camera in the camera tab
you can also disable some objects from rendering in the outliner panel, the eye icon controls what is hidden/visible in the viewport while the camera icon controls what will be rendered.
