Camera multi-view rendering

[Mike T]

Question:

 

If i have a scene with 2 cameras, how do I render them so that I get both views but only have to press the render button once?

 

I've seen it done where there are two frames, where cam 1 is in on key frame one and cam 2 is on key frame 2. But I can't seem to get my cameras to act this way. Any suggestions?

You could use the batch render facility, or even through backburner. Why do you need this, are you rendering for stereo-vision 3d?

[Mike T]

Batch render might be the key.

 

The reason why i would need to do this is I because i have a deadline for two views which render at about 4 hours each and i would like it to render over night without having to wait for the first view to then render the next. I've only done it that way before so i'm not sure how the batch render will operate. I'm at a new office now to clearify some of my ignorance, but not all.

any easy solution is to create 2 frames in the animation. Place the camera for each frame how you want it. What i usually do is set my cameras as i'm working. when i'm ready to go, turn on keyframing and align your camera (and target, as well as appropriate lighting and changes) for each "view". Render the animation (with the appropriate frames) but render them out as stills (png, etc). that way, it'll render out an animation, but they're individual frames (ie, multiple stills with different cameras).

hi all .... i think in is a manual operation to do so ... there is a commend called save scene states , camera preset & ofcourse render to batch or render with backburner . it will be more easy than doing that ...

I do final renders at night all the time now using batch render.

 

If you want different lighting setups for each view then use scene states. Set up lighting for camera 1, right click, save scene state, name it cam 1 or something then set up lighting for cam 2 and save scene state, cam 2

 

then go to rendering, batch render, click add, select the save location, camera, scene state... I generally dont use render presets as this can still be controlled by the usual render setup (size, FG, sampling etc...) and this setup will be used for all images in the batch render. Then in the batch render box press the render button, turn off your screen and go home to bed (with your fingers crossed)
