Is V-Ray 3 Rhino supporting the animation rendering?

Simply question.
V-Ray 3 Rhino supporting the animation rendering? (ex. bongo)

I can not find any information anywhere

Yes, you just have to render the animation through bongo.

It does not step to the next flame by a Bonogo renderer.
Why is it?

We removed the batch render option in V-Ray 3 for Rhino, We auto detect if you are in an animation command, and wait until render is finished if needed. There is a bug in this code,

Until we fix this bug, run the below code in the command prompt before recording a bongo animation.

!-_RunScript (
Option Explicit
Dim VRay
Set VRay = Rhino.GetPluginObject("V-Ray for Rhino")
VRay.SetBatchRenderOn True
)

worked by those script.

Thank you.

Hi,

I tried this script for VfR5 and Bongo 3 at Rhino 7 but it doesn't work. Is there a way to get it working?

SetBatchRenderOn was removed very long time ago.
I provided a special script that can handle Bongo 3 animations with V-Ray, until we have a public SDK, and I think I gave it to you.

Peter.Chaushev can share it

Right, I got the script. It could work, but it's critical to use for long animations, since if one frame fails or the animation crashs, than the whole animation needs to be calculated again. One of the great features of Bongo is the option "overwrite exist frames" which can be disabled and so, only missing frames can be calculated.

For now I rendered the animation per Cycles. It's not the quality like I know from V-Ray but it was ok for my client.

Thank you,
Micha

Well, that's why it is a script - you can modify the frame range, and render specific frame or frames, or ranges of frames. You just extend the python code to your liking.
Implementing "skip existing frames' feature is exactly one line of code you need to add
