Batch Camera Render

sergo — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:29:44 +0000

This script aims to replace standard 3dsmax's Batch Render and imitates Houdini Output Node workflow. Using it you can specify rendering parameters - frame size, frame number, output path - directly to camera object, so every camera in scene 'knows' what it intended to render. Additional functionality is Lighting Assignment - you can specify which light will be turn on or off for selected camera during the rendering.

1.18:

Support for 3ds max 2023 Update fixed

1.17:

Corona and Vray Sun inside Daylight System fixed (thanks to busseynova for reporting)

1.16:

CoronaSun supported inside Daylight System

1.15:

Don't Save Render Elements Checkbox (Thanks to antomor)
Limited support for camera objects in xref scene files (Only root objects in first level xrefs. Cameras in nested xrefs not supported)

1.13 Bugfix:

Deadline submission should work now

1.12 New Feature:

Deadline support.
Very basic imlementation, it allows you to submit your jobs on a deadline server. Enter deadline repository address and check "Use Deadline" checkbox. Other checkbox doesn't matter in this case ("Net render", "Show Submit Dialog").
Probably it requires Deadline 3ds max Submitter installed. I didn't have a chance to check it on a clean machine.

1.11 Features and fixes:

State sets support added
"projectname" keyword added which resolves to project's folder name
other fixes and improvements

1.10.3b Fixes:

Crash when vray ir/lcache maps are set to auto-save
Region render was not set properly during the rendering

This is major update of the script, so it may not be as stable as before. Backup scenes or cameras at least before running this version. More information can be found here - 1.10b Multiple presets for each camera

VERY QUICK & SIMPLE BATCH RENDERER for STILL IMAGES. Just 2 clicks and ready to go!

This script is very useful to render many views from a single model or scene when you have already placed still cameras.

It combines many still cameras into one single animated camera that shows all those views sequentially, one per frame.

Then you just need to render the new camera to a sequence of images.

HOW IT WORKS:

The script lets you first select the still cameras to combine into one.
