Vray Standalone help please

[fixeighted]

Can someone please tell me in very simple terms how I use this?
I need to be able to set it to render a sequence but honestly, I don't understand how it works

So, how to set it up to render a specific camera, a specific frame range, to a specific folder, file name etc. etc.

Thanks I feel very stupid but I look at the docs and my head begins to hurt

Hi fixeighted,

So, how to set it up to render a specific camera, a specific frame range, to a specific folder, file name

You should be able to achieve that with the following command line options:

-sceneFile=	"<path>" e.g. "C:\Folder\Folder\test.vrscene" specifies the .vrscene file to render
-camera=	e.g. VRayCam002, should match the exact name as in the exported .vrscene file
-imgFile=	"<path>/fileName.<extension>" e.g. "C:\Folder\Folder\test standalone/test.exr" Notice this also specifies the output file name + extension
-frames=	e.g. -frames=1;3;5-10 will render frames 1, 3 and 5 to 10 inclusively; -frames=10-100,5 will render every 5th frame, starting from frame 10 (i.e. 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.)
-rtEngine=	e.g. -rtEngine=0 will use the regular render engine; 1 will use CPU RT; 5 will use GPU RT engine running on CUDA; 7 will use GPU RT engine running on RTX

Should look something like in the attached example.

When exporting animations, make sure that the Export animation is enabled in the .vrscene exporter options.

Hope this will be of help. Leaving a link to our docs page just in case: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...d+Line+Options

Thanks. I don't know if this will help or not LOL.....I haven't messed with DOS command screen since the 80s....so I hope I can find another
method for these shots.
Out of interest, wouldn't it be easier to just have a little GUI for this?
