Animation in v-Ray Sketchup

Neil,

It sounds like you missed a vital (and unfortunately non-retrospective) step when you set up your animation. Before you begin rendering under "Output" you set the frame rate, browse to a folder where you want to save all your frames and set the filetype, tiff, png, jpg, etc from there. Then you start the render and as each frame completes VfSU will save it to that folder (numbered accordingly). Then you can use software like VirtualDub to convert to avi.

When rendering, most cases you can only rend out images like jpg, png, etc. In my case, once i finished rendering in images i take them all to Adobe premiere or After Effects. That way you can treak the animation with sounds, effects and or adjuting colors and cotrast.

hi there..
thanks for the how to do tutorial..
the problem i am facing is that when i set a filename and its location Vray renders and overwrites that single image for every frame it renders. so at the end of the animation i get just single image. Please do help me. i am doing distributed rendering by a workaround i found in this forum.

Re: Animation in v-Ray Sketchup

I'm having the save issue as JUZCOIM. I've tried saving with various file formats, and various file names, and I've specified all of this before hitting render. But still, V-Ray only saves a single image, even though I can see that it's rendering all of the scenes in the animation.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys, for this info on animations. I truly hope it can become a bit more streamline with new releases.

I don't know if Juzcoim and Aamsel got answers, or figured it out on your own, but in order to save every image rendered in an animation separately you need to tick the "Include Frame Number" box
