Scenes with sound objects can be exported as movies with audio tracks. The 3D sound in a Shade3D scene can also be exported by itself as a separate audio file.

Supported File Formats

The following file formats can be imported and exported by Shade3D.

WAVE file	.wav
AIFF file	.aif, .aiff
AU file	.au

Important Compressed versions of the above file formats are not supported.

Exporting Movies with Audio

Animation rendering is done by clicking the Create Animation button in the Animation Settings.

Important The 3D Sound checkbox in both the Animation Settings and the Object Info window must be checked for 3D sound effects to be enabled.
