Vray 3.6 Sketchup 2018 Batch Rendering Not Working
I have several files that could batch render 10+ scenes just fine in Vray 2 and Sketchup 2016. Those same files won't batch render in Vray 3 with Sketchup 2018, in addition to lots of frustrating things with the textures and lighting from the upgrade. That?s a big problem!
Specifically, what happens is that I follow the steps in the help topic (below). Hit the batch render button. Sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes it asks for the path. If I have the path already set (because I just tried to do a batch render) it doesn't work. On the few times that a render actually starts when using the batch render button (and I hover over it for the tool-tip confirmation that I am indeed pushing the right button) it only ever renders the first scene. Most of the time though the batch render button acts more like a toggle. I click on it, it "depresses" and stays "depressed" until I click on it again, then it returns to its normal "unclicked" state. It will stay "clicked" even if I push the regular render button.
I found this question asked here:

I have also looked at the sparse and not so helpful help here:
https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...y+Batch+Render
I have googled videos and tutorials and according to them it all should work.
I just tested it on a default scene with a single person in it and the batch render worked fine. My file I need to render is vastly more complex?
I have spent some time searching through the forums here, but I will admit that my frustration and deadline panic may have made my search less effective than it might have been.
I?m using Vray 3.6 on a new Windows machine, pretty good graphics card, decent amount of memory, pretty good processor. I can provide specs if that will help.
I have had a lot of success with the previous setup, Sketchup 2016 and Vray 2, so if there is no solution here, then I can downgrade. I hope.
