Multiple scenes and files rendering

[diesellam]

Is there a way you can setup multiple scenes from mulitple files to be rendered at the same time?

In FormZ, there's a thing called "Imager". You can setup the number of files with the saved views to be rendered. So you can do this before you sleep and pick up the rendering next day morning. I'm just curious if Sketchup or the VRay plugin would allow something like this.

Thanks in advance.

No, not from multiple files.
You can render multiple scenes as animation. But faceme components won't update between scene change.

This is what I usually do in FormZ:
I have the design with 4 different options. I save them as 4 different files. But I can render these files at the same time with the same view orientation. I wish you can do things like in SketchUp but I guess you can't.

When you mentioned the animation, what's the best software in your opinion to create like a "flipbook" animation by inserting different rendered images as the frames in the animation?

You can setup a layout file linked to multiple SketchUp files. Then when you have updated the files, you can re-render the images from Layout.

You still have to set it up the first time, but then can re-use it as you update your SketchUp files.
