HOW?

[skurl]

i would love to know how do i render a few scenes automatically one after the other in sketchup, sometimes i have a few scenes set up to render but i leave it overnight. i want vray to render all the scenes so when i wake up all scenes will be done, is this possible in vray? sometimes its just like 3 scenes, how do i do this?

Re: HOW?

Render as an animation with 1 frame per second? That's the easiest way I think? Only problem is that your camerasettings etc. are the same for every render...

Re: HOW?

hi mr. senator, please try this: (i have it somewhere in this forum, but i can't source it.. ???)

Step 1

Window > model info > animation.

1.1. Enable scene transitions
1.2. Set scene transition to 1 second
1.3. Set scene delay to 0 seconds

Step 2

VRay for sketchup render options > Output

2.1 Pick preset or specify output size
2.2 Under the Render Output sub option, enable 'save file' and specify output directory and file type. (VRay can not render out a move file but rather a series of stills which can be combined into an animation in video software if required)
2.3 Under the Animation sub option tick the 'on' box and choose a 'Custom' frame rate specifying the FPS value as 1. This will effectively render out 1 frame per second which when combined with the sketchup settings from Step 1 above will produce 1 frame (still image) per sketchup scene


Goodluck,

Re: HOW?

I often run several instances of Sketchup with the different scenes and render all of them at the same time. This way, I can have different settings for Vray per image. Whereas rendering as an animation, you can only use one setting type.

Re: HOW?

I wouldn't recommend running multiple instances of SketchUp on Mac though, because they do some screwy multiple document stuff that messes up our material editor.
