CMD line rendering

[CEJ1976]

Hi,

 

I have a bunch of 3ds render files developed (47 in total) and it is taking me a while to open them all individually and press render.

 

I was wondering if there was a way to speed things up? I once heard someone mention you can use the cmd prompt to set off a set of renders. Any thoughts?

 

Each scene has different lighting, and different props and to bring them all together and use the scene state does need give me the speed i am after.

 

Anyone done something similar before?

 

Thank you.

you can write a simple .bat file and use the command line option to process all of them or you could also submit them to the backburner queue.

if you don't havea renderfarm, you could also use the free single license of deadline. Lots of ways to handle them without manually opening the files.

Hi John,

 

I have never written a .bat file but I love to know how to do it. Do you have any idea how I would develop this file?

 

Cheers.
