      Is not needed to assign on "Save file"? And the option "Batch render"?

      @unknownuser said:

      In sketchup, make the number of scenes what you need to render.

      First. In Menu: View->Animation->settings

      Disable Scene transitions and put scene delay = 1

      Second. In V-ray->options->Output

      Check the animation On

      Last. Go to dinner.

        Sorry. Yep, you have to check the save option and put a name.

              It sounded like the question was asking about rendering different files and not different scenes of the same file. If this is the case, the answer is no. You cannot setup renderings for different files to batch.

                BUT if you have multiple files, you could merge them to 1 file (copy paste) and do it the way described here, with scenes

                in addition, u can use something like http://sourceforge.net/projects/shutdown/ to shut down your PC after it finished rendering (use the CPU usage option).

                btw: this is my first post here, hello! 🎉

                  Am I missing something here?
                  I follow the instructions above but don't know how to actually set the rendering in motion as nothing I try works.
                  I click render and the screen scrolls rapidly through the scene tabs and the frame buffer renders all the scenes one by one but why are the renders not being stored as JPEGs in the folder that I assigned on my hard drive?

                  If I export using sketchups export option I get all the scenes saved as you see them on the sketchup screen but I want the vray rendered images... Can anyone help please?

                  Dave

                    @davelee: which version of vfsu? Also, is the vray frame buffer window (render window) showing up? If not, can you do a rendering without animation from that file? If you don't see the window, the render isn't happening.

                      Hi
                      I am using the latest version for the mac 1.49 i think.
                      The frame buffer shows yes and I see the scenes render one by one on the screen but only on the screen. Shouldn't they save out to my drive?
                      Ill try rendering one scene to disk as per your advice.
                      Thanks

                        It sounds like the render works fine. You need to make sure in your output option you have an autosave file name specified.

                          You also have to make sure you have INCLUDE FRAME NUMBER ticked on.

                            Hello, I don't know wether or not Davelle solved his problem, but I do have the same one, with sketchup 8 and I think the last version of VFSU, but on PC. The batch rendering operates, but doesn't save the picture files anywhere, that's very frustrating. Any idea?

                              did you check "enable scene transition" in sketchup animation settings???

                                  HI, still haven't found a solution, except for wacking up every hour last night, change scenes manually, pray and go back to bed...for one hour. I tryed several ways, calculating pictures of 5x5...They always calculate but don't get saved anywhere. I wish I could find a solution before the end of this world, please help!

                                    This tutorial has fairly comprehensive options setup, not sure if it'll solve the issues though as haven't tried animation myself.

                                      Just a simple thing to check - have you specified a file name for your saved images? You have to have autosave enabled so vray can save your images.

                                        Hi,
                                        I also had this problem recording.
                                        I did a search in windows and the files were stored in TEMP / vfstextureCache.
                                        I hope you find it!

                                          In some older version of vray the scene 1 will be rendered 2 times in version 1.49.01 this no longer happens.

                                          I have the last version of Vray (1.49.01), but the first scene is rendered two times!!!
                                          I don't know why.
                                          Is it the same for you?

                                            Thanks for your answers, I still have the same problem; to Andybot, yes I specified a name, and to PierreAudouin, I'm very surprised, it looks like I don't have such a file named vfstextureCache? I looked for it, I don't think I have Hidden files, on Windows 7... Still trying to do a Batch rendering now, I hope 2013 gives me the answer. I'm on Sketchup 8 and bought my Vrayfor SU version in August. To Pierre, you must have an option like "reboot on first scene"?
