Batch render with V-Ray CLI

[giulio_perosino]

Hi guys,
I have a lot of seamless textures I want to automatically render on a sphere (like the Poliigon texture list page). Is there a way to do it via CLI? Are there other methods?

Thanks for helping.

If you like command line scripting you could just setup a scene with a texture labelled "Texture.png" or somesuch, and then use a script to copy a new texture over to that name and then render again in a loop.

Create an animation / image sequence from the textures (each frame 1 image) and map that to the sphere. Render the animation. Done. (In 3ds max you can create an .IFL file in any text editor, that simply has every textures name on a line - then use that as the animated texture.)

Duh, even better

That's a solution, thanks for the tip.

As we produce a lot of textures with different sizes I am looking for a way to automate the process where you can give a list of files and apply the textures on the sphere with correct UV tiling.
Do you guys have any example for CLI commands I can look at?

Thanks

Hi guys, I found the way via VB script to automate the operations. Most of the parameterOverride commands works via CLI.
Now I want to change the numbers in the tiling options. The only parameter I can't override is the UVW Placement node. When I run the command it gives me this error:

error: Parameter '_Plastic_Simple_Blurry_Black_Bump_UVW_Placement_UVW.uvw_transform' has unsupported type '8' and it cannot be overridden!

Any ideas? Thanks

I made a post showing the error in the correct category
