Friendly Batch Processor
Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2006 9:22 pm
I would like a very friendly batch processor incorporated into the Maxwell Studio.
I am used to AccuRender 3, and will try to describe how it works.
There is a batch Processor option in the file menu.
Picking it, a new batch processor window opens.
The fist thing we have to do, is choosing a name for the current batch job.
It is possible to have several batch jobs, ready to run.
As soon as a name is entered, a new window opens (with the new batch name) where you can add tasks.
Here I will write a tasks list:
Load a camera
load an exposure setting
load on and off object list state (in this way you could switch on and off automatically some objects, that could be placed specially for certain camera, but that could be wrong for the others, as for instance flat people)
Load Sky and Sun setting (in this way one of the cameras could be rendered at the sunset, and the others at noon)
Load render options
load camera parameters (in this way we could force certain parameters as resolution, in case of a preview for instance)
Render image, and save as (here you can set a name for the image as well as a format, or formats) this feature should be inteligent enough to add a _1 or _2 to the name in case a previous image was saved so that it will not be overwritten.
If you can do this, I will be in paradise!
and I hope many other users too
The second time you go to the batch jobs windows, you will see all the batch names that were saved previously, and the only thing we have to do is just pick the batch job you like (for instance Client´s final selection), and pick run.
