Hi all,

I have a scene file with multiple camera angles that need to set off to render overnight.
My question is how can I batch render all these angles overnight and have them saved out to a file location on my machine so someone in the office can get them in the morning, who doesn't work in 3d.

One way is to set up a Take for each camera. You also need to create individual render settings (bottom left of render settings) so each one has a unique name for the still image. Each Take will have a different camera and render settings. Mark each one you want to render (orange dot), then you simply click the "Render Marked Takes to PV" option. Done. Each take will render with it's own settings.

Make sure NOT to select "Render Marked Takes to TeamViewer" since denoising has issues with TR. Hope this helps.

If you're not familiar with the Take system, you should learn all about it right now. It will save you a lot of time in production. I've rendered one scene with Takes for Beauty Shot, Shadow Catcher, Buffers. One click and I walk away. If you also add Tokens to the mix, it can save each Take into its own folder. Crazy helpful.

Under render,  Batch render, set them up, and up the render elements too, and they will be saved out to the folder you choose.
Do a test before you leave for home.

Take system is your friend for this.
