Render as in 3dview?

[Kamelite]

Is it possible to render, or save the view, just like it looks when looking in 3D-view? Whenever I render it, regardless of the settings, it isn't the exact like it is in the 3D-view (F3). The Lightning changes, the textures changes etc.

Can it somehow have something to do With the fact that the 3D-view uses the OpenGl-renderengine (atleast on my setup), and the render doesn't have that engine as an option?

Thnx

Kamelite:

The Material (Surface in AC17) settings are different between the 3D Window and Rendering, at the top of the Material Settings dialog box is the Engine Settings, so you must alter the OpenGL and LightWorks settings to match (there is a Match with Internal Engine under LightWorks, so that can be a good starting point).

The lighting methodology is just different between the two (LightWorks can use Lamps, has better shadows, etc), so you will need to tweak the LightWorks Sun, Lamp, etc settings to get the desired effect.
