I want to render a few frames and all I get is a black screen To escape Blender I tried to export the particle simulation to fbx by baking the animations and then bring it in and then I can render it very easily there.
I was unable to bake the animation of flocking birds, so I'm forced to render in Blender but I still cannot figure out how to render frames.
Can anyone just show me even by pictures where to click to render one frame the correct camera
The 'active camera' is the one used for rendering. To make a camera the active camera, click on it and press Ctrl + NumPad 0.
To render a single frame you press  F12 or in the top left corner click Render &gt; Render Image.
