Is there a feature for batch render? So we create lots of scenes inside SketchUp and have VfSU render all those in order. I made this a wish list of mine because of the instability of opening multiple SketchUp instances and have those render at once (3ds MAX and Vray for it could do that). Before sl…

Yes, you can quite easily do a batch render using the animation option. Set the frame rate to 1, and disable scene transitions in SU. The one major thing to note is that any changes in geometry from one scene to the next will not be recognized (for example if you turn off a layer in one scene, it w…

Cool! I shall try that now. Anyways yeah, I figure if changes in geometry is not recognized between scenes that means its the same with V-Ray Toys ruby from Thomthom. Have several scenes where I want to render it portrait, so had to separate another skp files for that purpose.

It probably wouldn’t be too hard to script together something to load a list of scenes and kick off renders.

rendering multiple scenes works quite fine from Sketchup. You can specify in SU which ones to include and which ones to exclude. It would be nice to have a way to specify if each scene geometry should be exported separately (for example the ability to have layers on or off between different scenes.)…

oooh - so were you thinking load multiple skp files in a batch!? Now that would be something!

right, I’m sure it’s not that complicated. https://developers.google.com/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/sketchup#open\_file and I believe VfSExport.render() is the command we use to kick off a render. It’s in the toolbar code somewhere, I’d have to look. I’m sure someone could write a little script that just …

Problem comes when you have multiple scenes you want to render with different camera settings. As it is now there is one global camera setting - where as it should (logically) be one for each Page/Scene in SketchUp.

Yep that is what the thread was about, since I have had multiple scenes that needs to be rendered portrait, landscape, and some unique aspect ratios. So I guess the batch render thingy needs to come from VfSU development, I think.

right, that’s why I was suggesting someone throw together a little script to load a series of skp files that are all set to go.

I was referring to skp files (model files, scene files), I forgot that SketchUp has something called “scenes”.
