Record a model coming together from block-out to render

Sound familiar?

• ✗Full-rate screen recording competes with the viewport and renders for GPU
• ✗A modelling session runs for hours and produces an unusably large file
• ✗Sculpting progress is the interesting part and it is invisible in a final render

How Tau helps

• Low overhead while you work

  Capturing a frame at intervals leaves far more GPU and CPU for your viewport than continuous recording does, which matters during sculpts and renders.

• Show the block-out to final progression

  The value in a 3D timelapse is watching the shape resolve. Recording the whole session captures that without you managing clips.

• Export for portfolio or socials

  Export to MP4 for ArtStation or a vertical clip for socials, straight from the same editor.

FAQ

Will Tau slow down Blender or my renders?

Far less than a full-rate recorder would. Tau writes one frame per interval instead of encoding continuous video, so the overhead during modelling and rendering stays small.

Can I record across two monitors?

Tau records a screen as its source, so pick the display your viewport is on. Reference material on a second monitor stays out of the shot.

What interval suits a long sculpting session?

For a multi-hour session, somewhere between five and fifteen seconds usually works. The frame interval calculator will give you an exact figure for the video length you want.
