Dear Developers!
V-Ray for Revit is a fantastic plugin, but I'm missing a super important functionality of it.
You see, when making presentations of architectural plans, it comes in handy to be able to save the settings for each image, regarding resolution, light conditions, render settings, color corrections, etc.
I'm aware that I'm able to save color correction (.vccglb) files for example, but loading it every time I want to render the shots I need becomes a headache during documentation, when we are talking about 10-20 pictures (or more).
So I could image to have a Render Manager for VRay for Revit, which could contain and save a list of views, all to be able to contain some settings:
- it would be important to save render setting files and load them for every view separately, since separate views may need different qualities to render (e.g. interiors vs exteriors)
- it would be nice to contain the needed resolution for every shot, so one does not have to keep in mind the resolution and aspect ratio of all shots
- light conditions could be set, daytime, sun multiplier, sky multiplier, etc.
- it would be nice for the list to be able to add lines, and for each line one could pick a 3D view, so one view could be added more times, to be able to create a nighttime and a daytime shot for the same view (see attached image)
- output path and filename for each shot (maybe with variables like %projectname%, %viewname%, %date% etc.)
- option to use a color correction file for the shot, ability to load a .vccglb file on render start, and save it on render end (in case the user modifies it during rendering)
- optionally also a Dynamo connection would be nice, so maybe a pre-render dynamo script could be run for example before the rendering starts for a shot.
I know it might sound a lot, but it might not take that much effort to implement a Batch Render window, but it would add a lot to the user friendliness of the program!
VRay for 3DsMax does not come with a Batch Renderer with options like this (although I miss it from there too), but with Maxscript this functionality can be achieved. Unfortunately Revit is not really scriptable in this way (or is it?), so it would come very handy to come up a solution for this, even if it's more simple than I have described.
Looking forward to something like this!
Best Regards,
Gabor
