I’m a complete beginner with Blender, so it’s possible I’m missing some super simple step.
I am running Blender 2.80, and while debugging I’m just trying to render the default scene with the cube, camera, and single light source. The cube shows up in all of the tabs except for Rendering (and Compositing, but that makes sense).
In the videos I’ve seen it looks like you’re suppose to just be able to click on the Render tab and have something show up in the viewport. Or did they change a setting somewhere that enables that?
I’m running Blender on my laptop. I’ve got a GeForce MX130 and the integrated Intel i5-8250U.
I got to ask first…are you using the camera view and have it lined up on the cube?
If you have a number pad hit Zero, and see what view you are looking at.
If it shows nothing…then select Camera and under View/Align View select that! Hope this helps…
I don’t have a numpad on this laptop, but I believe clicking the camera icon in Layout or Modeling views does the same thing. Yes, the cube is in the center (I’d be disappointed if the default Camera wasn’t pointed at the cube).
Thanks anyway, you at least taught me the fast way to align the camera for when I have my own model loaded.
That was exactly the kind of dumb question that needed to be asked! I didn’t see a button to start the render on my screen, and I’d seen so much about Eevee rendering in real time that I thought there should be some image already there. Thanks!
