What exactly are renders..?

What exactly are they and what do you use them for? Sry, I'm a newb X_X

Precut images of people, objects, or anything cartoons. It's just something that is cut out of an image so people like us don't have to cut it out our selfs. For example

http://www.render-world.com/gallery/...annon_big2.png

This is a render the bg is cut out and just the character is left.

Hope this helps.

Sweet! Thanks ^_^. One more question though... there is still a black background, so we have to cut that out w/ lasso right?

I posted the jpg not the png, the png it the precut one.

I registered and got the png thing. Thanks man! This is a very helpful forums

What Toshiyan showed you is only one definition of a render in the GFX community.

Renders can also be:
-3D Models / Landscapes (This is referred to as 3D Rendering)
-A video or scene that has added effects (this is referred to as Video Rendering)

Ahh yes :) I was only thinking of the common one's though I considers 3D models in the same class <_<. :P

Thanks for clarifying
