Calculating Final Gather

[cferman]

Is there a script out there that automates the task of calculation final gather.

 

I'm about to send a 360 frame animation path where all 360 frames need to be calculated - instead of doing this one at a time is there a script where you can specify the frames that need calculation and send it all at once?

 

Thanks in advance!

render off the animation, set to every nth frame. Saving the FG to disk. Rerender the animation with every frame. Freeze the FG and there you go

 

Very easy and even better when done through backburner. just submit each as separate jobs, making the full render dependant on the first. Once the FG animation is calculated the final will start automatically. Freeing you up do go have a beer
