Render Multiple Views

[steven martin]

Is there a routine that will enable me to render multiple camera views, withou attaching them to a path.

I know that I can draw a path from camera point to camera point, but is there a script to enable me to render

multiple camera views so that when I go home I can render lots of views

Hi Steven,

 

There are a few ways to do this.

1) check scriptspot for scripts about cameras. I know there is one that renders every camera in the scene at a given frame.

2) (not in viz, but in max) setup a video post queue using the cameras and ranges you need.

3) network rendering

here are a few scripts...

 

Multi Camera Preview 1.1 MAX 3.x 4.x 8/16/2001 Downloads: 423

Makes a preview from multiple camera's in the same scene, something you cannot do in videopost, speeds up things when trying to composite some shots from the same scene.

The other way of doing this, is to setup the Network rendering on your workstation. Let's say you don't have any other computer to help rendering,(but it would be better if you had one)

you setup the rendering server and rendermanager to be that same workstation. And then you send your jobs to Network render(but it's your own workstation). Name each jobs based on the camera name, so you know which one i sbeing rendered. The quemanager tracks the jobs being rendered and will render the next one in line to be rendered.

You can also assign schedule and which camera's has more priorities. And you can even track this from your home, so in case if something crashes.

 

You can even send jobs to be render from home too, but it gets more complicated. I say you start getting to know the network rendering. it's very powerfull. good luck.
