Title: Corona Batch Render Script/Plugin
Post by: Otuama on 2019-04-11, 17:21:50
Hi.

We usually use this batch render script for Vray and it's great

http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/batch-camera-render

However, this doesn't work well with Corona.

It doesn't work well with lightmix's or denoising.

Is there a script like this for Corona?

Thanks

I've been using Pulze scene manager for a while and it is quite cool. It also lets you set up all different light and layers scenarios for each camera.
It's a paid solution though. https://pulze.io/products/scene-manager

I use the batch render script that you originally mention, and haven’t had any issues using with Corona (including Lightmix, Denoising etc) - if you render our to CXR you can tweak everything later in Corona Image Editor (in Max or independently).

I recently used it for a project with 16 panoramics and it worked a treat!

yeah... try doing that way with a animation @ 30 frames / second. Your time to process all those frames is equal to the rendering itself. Not recommended

I do believe there is a batch CXR editor plugin available...might be of some use to you?

I used this once when its beta was released, it crashed about 30 seconds into use. I gave it another shot when it was fully released and it immediately crashed again. Gave up after that...

I’m not sure the original post has any mention of being used for animation - completely agree that this method wouldn’t suit animation. The original post mentions issues with Lightmix and Denoising, both of which I’ve found to be fine using the batch render plugin?
