Batch rendering - Views not updating correctly while rendering

I’m having issues while batch rendering as the camera isn’t switching fully between renders. Some of the images stay on the former scenes position so I get two or more images with the same camera position. Time of day and other parameters update but not the camera position.

I’m running the latest version of Enscape and Sketchup.

Anyone knows how to correct the issue?

Thanks

@nadjanda , that should of course not happen - please first off make sure that you’re using our latest release or latest preview. If that doesn’t do the trick, can you let me know if this occurs in all of your projects, or is it just a select one perhaps? How many scenes in total are you exporting through batch-rendering and do you have presets assigned to your views as well? Does it make a difference if you link/unlink presets to your views?

Thanks for your reply @Demian_Gutberlet I’ll do some more tests and let you know if the problem continues.

All three of us at the office are having the same issue unfortunately. The latest file I tested has 90 scenes, and I have tested with Synchronize Views and Live Updates on and off. The double frames with the same camera view seems to show up randomly, so it’s not the same frames that are affected in different batches.

We are running Enscape 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 with Sketchup 21.1.X

Yep, still happens to me as well when batch rendering. I sent an error report a while back and they were able to replicate the error, so they know about the problem.

It’s also an issue just switching scenes in the view selector in the enscape window. I have to click twice to get the enscape view to change.

I’ve now experienced this on a couple of recent projects, it seems as if there is a set time for the camera to transition between the current and next view point but …..

If there is a lot of changes in the visual settings there isn’t enough time for the settings to be applied AND the camera to move.

…. That’s my guess any way.

Thank you all for your further Feedback - This is definitely something we’re currently looking into to resolve as quickly as possible. We appreciate the input as always. :slight_smile:

Any news on this issue? I´m spending my evening rendering 90 images one by one instead of not doing it.

I think I’ve found another related ‘bug’

When I switch between Visual Settings that have HDRI skys the sky that gets loaded is a super low res version … see screenshot.

This is ONLY when switching between Settings, when the model is 1st loaded in Enscape it’s fine.

If I change the sky to another HDRI and then back to the original then 20% of the time it’ll restore the full-res but the only way to truly restore it is to close and reopen Enscape.

Where is it getting this low res version from?, I don’t have one saved on my system.

This is the HDRI I’m using: https://polyhaven.com/a/blouberg_sunrise_2 I’ve got both the 8k and 16k, both have the same problem.

SU 2021 (Latest), Enscape 3.1 (latest), Win 10 (Latest)

What’s the news on this issue? I’m really getting tired of this problem that is adding alot of extra time rendering images.
Oh, and by the way Enscape has started crashing Sketchup when switching scenes.

+1 @Rick_Marx

Have any of the previews addressed this? I’ve been staying away from the previews as I don’t have any pressing need for changes to the asset library behavior. :expressionless:

Thank you everyone for your patience. This problem should be resolved in our latest preview - Please kindly give it a try and let me know if that isn’t the case and we’ll investigate further! Thank you again in advance for any further feedback.

Looks like it’s working correctly so far (I checked against the last 2 files where I tried and failed to batch render.) Thank you!

Thanks. I’ll give it a try.

Happy to hear that - I appreciate the feedback!

Hi,

I have Skecthup PRo 2021 21.1.332, and intelled now Enscape 3.2.0-preview, but still have batch rendering issues

Please Damian, let us know if you are still trying to fix this for all sketchup versions. Thanks.

We’re looking into it currently @massimo.colagrande , I will update you further once I have any additional news. And also, welcome to our Forum!

thanks Demian,

I have installed the latest official version released but the program crashes, this has never happened before, checked graphic card (h2200)setting and they are correct, also updated graphic card driver, no changes. This creates a lot of problems for me.

Now I have to re-install the old version and run one render after another.
