Batch rendering?
-
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???
-
Yes I did, the scenes render, but just don't get saved anywhere...
-
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"?
-
Wow! I just looked again, and I finally found the pictures! They were hidden in the OS(C:)/User/(Me)/AppData/Local/Temp/VfsTextureCache!!!
Thank god I can now work and sleep 8 hours in a row!! And Special thanks to PierreAudouin too, you were right! I just wonder why the pics are saved ther and not where I told Vray to save it? an other bug? And the search tool on windows 7 is just useless, perhaps should I stay on a mac next time I buy a Computer...This little gag almost cost me a project -
Yes, good, this is 2013!!!
Happy new year!
it's weird, it is thanks to the windows search tool I have found my files.
Good for you.
I search "reboot on first scene".I don't have option like this.
it doesn't matter,but if you have a solution... -
Happy new year too! I can't find this option any more, but I'm pretty sure it was part of the previous sketchup versions. By the way I also have the first scene doubled in my file this morning...And they look strictly the same? Now I have a little bug with the "face me components": some of them are grouped at the origin of the axes...Weird, but I may find an explanation on this forum...

is it possible to change layer states during a batch render? i'm trying to render an animation made with SU animate, but vray only seems to accept the layer state of the first scene.
check the attachement to see what i mean

unfortunately, no. That's just the way vray works currently. It only loads the model once at the beginning for batch rendering.

and i ask the same question with camera setting (focal, aspect ratio...)?

correct, all the vray variables are set per model. Have to adjust it for each scene
-
Since I know how to do a batch rendering, I also get twice the same picture, with twice the render time, for the first scene of my Skp file. I bought my Vray version in july, but I'm not sure which version it is, where do I find it, and is there a way to solve this problem, please?
-
At the moment the only solution I found not to lose hours of useless calculation time, is to create a first scene which focuses on a white wall without reflection in a part of my file...Then Vray renders it twice and can start calculation of the other scenes...But it's a bit tricky, isn't it?
