Title: How to render color alternates in render elements or CXR?
Post by: Alex Abarca on 2023-08-15, 22:30:57

I am helping an architectural team with a project creating design visualizations. In specific metal material the team is indecisive which tone to use and I am using CoronaSelect to make 12 colors to test out.

Is there a method I can use to render one time and have all the color variations appear in some sort of CXR format or render elements?

Thank you.

No, sorry - you would have to create an animation, keyframing the selected color in the CoronaSelect, and let it render the 12 frames. You could use "render selected" though if there is a whole scene but only one object is actually changing, in case that cuts down on render times.

Thank you Tom! That's what I did I rendered 12 times. I hope there was an easier way, like cryptomatte/render elements.

You can leave your vote for this feature in the most wanted feature poll (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=96.0). I believe it's called "Lightmix extended to materials, textures, ..." there.
