batch render

[willyabad]

Hello, I would like to know how to put several renders in "queue", I have seen that in 3dmax they have something like "batch render" but I don't know how it works in cinema 4d.

Thank you!

Hey! You can put your projects into the C4D's render queue ("Render" -> "Render Queue" from the top c4d menus) and render them like that.

Just so you know though, there is an issue with Corona for C4D not properly converting what appears to be color spaces when saving files via the internal C4D's mechanisms - which the render queue and the regular save options are a part of. If you save your renders straight from the Corona VFB they'll look exactly like you'd expect them to - if you don't save them directly from the VFB then they might look a whole lot weirder.

Yep, it's a big arse issue alright :\

Just a quick note, it's not that "Corona for C4D doesn't properly convert..." - it's that the VFB and the native Picture Viewer use different methods to translate the full linear data in a render into sRGB for display. This means when you have to save from the PV (e.g. when batch rendering), then you will end up with Cinema 4D's method of translating into sRGB, rather than the Corona method used in the VFB (that you will be used to from IR). It's not so much that either Corona or C4D "doesn't properly convert", rather just that they do the conversion differently :)

Thank you very much for the answers!!
