Rendering selected frame and camera

[miguel_sousa]

Hi!

We are working on a batch rendering application. In short, we process 3dsMax scene files, export them as .vrscenes and through command line scripts submit them to Chaos Cloud.
We are having a product that is rotated through a turntable animation. Now, we would like to generate renderings at each frame, using different cameras.

In this context, we are missing an option to perform a selection of a specific camera through the command line job submission.
We see there's a way to use the active view, or all cameras included in the scene file, by using the flag --allCameras, but not a specific camera for a specific frame.

Is there any way to set pairs of (camera, frame) for Chaos Cloud to render? In other words, for each specific frame, we want to render the scene through a specific camera.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi miguel_sousa ,

You are correct that currently there is no way in the Command-Line Interface (CLI) to select just one camera or several particular cameras from a list with cameras. You have to select all or just the Active View. The feature is available only in the Chaos Cloud GUI. Currently the solution is to export the needed camera as an Active View from 3ds Max before submitting via CLI to Chaos Cloud.

I'll discuss the feature with the team and will write it down in the roadmap but I can't promise a delivery date. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Bests,
Vladie
