Batch Renders

[DesignerAnnilee]

Is there a way to batch render?  I'm not seeing a way to do it... hoping there's something I'm missing.  Thanks!!

It depends on what you mean when you say "Render."

 

Using CPU Ray Trace you can queue up different processes by setting time limit before.

I should have clarified.  I have many cameras in my plan.  I would like to be able to set them all to export PBRT images in a batch, rather than open each camera and process individually.  This would be similar to what other render engines can do in an export setting, where you choose the views you want to export and it processes them all.  I don't think this is an option, but I was hoping I was missing it somewhere.

 

Thank you!

No, I have requested it.
Add a note to this suggestion and it will help it move along:

in what file format? and one file per image?

 

I put my PBR cameras on layout, and fit to the sheet, and update on demand. I suppose one could use a no line layout template, and perhaps a jpg or other image print driver to then create the image files by printing every page in the template at once ...but I havent tried it
