Batch Render?

[jskt]

I feel like I have to be overlooking something - what is the workflow for batch rendering? For example, if we have 9 3D views in a project to render and want to update the whole set, is there a way to do this without manually initiating each render?

Currently, the best I've been able to come up with is to output .VRScene files per-view and then manually submit each one to Deadline as a V-Ray Standalone job. This still requires 30-45 minutes of active human effort, however, and is prone to errors.

Hello jskt ,

We still haven't implemented batch rendering in V-Ray for Revit. It is in our current roadmap.
I'd be interested to hear how do you imagine the workflow.

Best,
Ana

I am imagining something like Enscape's view manager, where you can favorite views, and pressing "batch render" uses the favorites:



In V-Ray for Revit, you could do the same in the view manager, but you would also want one or more columns to specify whether to use the current quality/resolution/render element settings, or override using the ones saved in the view (exposure and sun settings would always use the settings saved per-view):

When batch render is implemented, can each render in the batch save all other necessary individual settings per view (HDRI values, Exposure Values, etc)?

How do you think?

I can think of a workflow throughout the week and put together a mockup in my downtime.

That would be really great! The more user input we get on this, the better.

Here's what I thought of. Hope it helps.

Woah, that's a lot! Thank you! We'll review it,

FYI individual render settings plus local batch rendering have been implemented in V-Ray Next for Revit, Update 1.
We launched the update yesterday and you can download it from our website. Enjoy!
