STRAT Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I follow the C4D manual about batch rendering but I can not make it work... What I have is several cameras and I what to let cinema render all while I am sleeping... give me a step by step tut guys, plz... thanxxx ah, nice easy one. i use batch rendering all the time. ok, what the batch renderer does, in essence, is allow you to que up separate files to be rendered automatically. each one of those files is a separate camera view. so what you do is open ur main c4d scene, select the viewport to be rendered, make sure you check the USE AS RENDER VIEW box in the VIEW > EDIT tab then save the file say as VIEW01.C4D. then switch to another camera view you want to see rendered, again making sure its set to the rendered view, then save this file as say VIEW02.C4D, and so on for each of your views. so at the end you'll end up with several separately saved c4d files of the same scene, which each show a different camera view within the main scene. remember that each time you save a different camera view file to change the image file name it'll be saving,so as not to save over the last scenes image. then in start c4d from anew (you dont have to, but why not? ), goto the batch rendering window, and click and insert all those separate files you've just created in the job 1-10 spaces, then hit OK.

jackb602 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Another way to batch render a series of views of the same model is to use the Stage object. If I want to render five different views for example, I just set up a five frame animation. The stage object lets me specify which camera should be used for each frame. The "animation" is then saved as a series of still images. The advantage of this is not having to save multiple versions of the same scene just for this purpose. Having said that, I seem to have forgotten my own advice the other night and ran a batch render in which each image used the Depth of Field post effect. The DOF effect did not get applied to any of the renderings! I double checked the files, and DOF was turned on for each view. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong here?
