I'm trying to create a rather big 3D image and export it. Currently, I create the image then display using Show, then use Export. The problem is that drawing the 3D image as an interactive object is absolutely caning my little laptop, and I don't really need it - I just want a jpeg output. Any way to do this?

What I am doing is basically along the lines of

Show[{object list}, options]
Export["name.jpeg",%,options]

So as an example, if I wanted an image of a Sin[x] graph without Mathematica first "drawing" it, how would I do it?

Thanks

If you really want to export the graphics only, then the most direct way is probably

Export["name.jpeg", Show[{object list}, options], exportoptions]

which returns only the file name of the exported graphics. Another common thing is, as Kuba suggested, to suppress the output with ;

plot = Show[{object list}, options];
Export["name.jpeg", plot,options]
