Can you please make the generation of 360 panoramas a little more user friendly? I’d like to be able to batch render them, and I’d like to be able to save them locally directly instead of through the manager.

One other thing I noticed - please lock the lighting when rendering the frames of the pano. I realized if I moved to another scene with different shadows setting, it screws up the lighting in the pano that’s being generated. It’s a bit of an issue as I was trying to make edits to other parts of the model by going to another scene with different lighting while waiting for the pano to finish.

Thanks!

Andy

Is this not an issue for anyone else? I had 74 interior panos to do for an apartment building, and I would have loved to be able to run those overnight instead of doing them one by one.

@Demian_Gutberlet , anyone - is this anywhere on any agenda or am I just talking into the void? The new batch render works great, I don’t see why we can’t have that for panos. Is there something proprietary or some reason this won’t happen?

It is on our agenda filed as a feature request, just at the moment I’m afraid there are no plans to implement this - but, we do have weekly meetings with our developers discussing some of the not-so-large functionalities which would make sense to implement, and I think in this case this particular feature does make sense - I’m forwarding your wish accordingly!

Good news at ( @andybot too )! Without making too much promises, this will actually be a functionality which we plan to implement with Enscape 2.9. I will still gladly forward your upvote just to note it down. 🙂

Upvote on this. I’m in a similar situation where I need to export 50 plus panoramas from one project and can see other projects coming up that are likewise.

I’m now knocking these out regularly, each one is a minimum of 12 pano’s with at least one being 50ish, during the development im guessing that I probably render all the projects panos at least 3x.

Batch rendering panos would be a colossal boon.

Currently rendering 22 panos for another tour. This will be the 1st round, the boss will then make comments/edits and I’ll edit/render them all again. That may be it but usually there’s another round of edits and they’ll have to be done for a 3rd time.

The boss is currently marking up a previous tour and as soon as I’ve got this lot done I’ll make the changes and rerender all its pano’s

I currently have 5 (maybe more) more tours in the pipe work.

Batch panos cant come soon enough

Agreed! I recently had to re-do a set of 74 panos. That’s a lot of time spent on something that should be able to be batched overnight.

This may very well be possible in 3.0 or a preview beforehand. I will also forward your feedback once more.

Hello, is there any update on this? It hasn’t appeared in 3.0 and is incredibly frustrating with 20+ panoramas (including incremental updates).  
Is this still on the roadmap or does anyone know of a workaround? The only alternative I can think is to recreate in alternate software which includes this functionality.

I need to export 20 panoramas and would be sooo helpful if it has these features.

Please consider this update.

Thank you!
