      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.

                  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?

                        i used the same once.. the only difference creating a scene inside a black cube wich is also faster than a white wall.. 💭
                        however i generally tend to (rarely to be honest) use batch for test of multiple scenes and to avoid at all batch render for the advanced/final renders, because it does not support layer changes, camera changes, visopt changes, emissive material changes, additional channels etc.. 😞

                          I followed your steps and it saved with the name and the location i adressed! I saw all the scenes change one by one, the VR frame buffer appeared, i went to sleep. The next morning : I found like 4 exact scenes and another one (the same scene!) rendering in VRFB!!

                          vray kept rendering the same scene over and over!

                          ❗ ❗ Is there any solution to this problem??

                            make sure in sketchup scene transition is enabled and set to 1sec and scene delay is set to 0. then check the "output" tab in vray options, you should have "save file" ticked and give a path/name to your saved file, then check both "animation on" and "include frame number", finally chose frame rate "custom" and FPS = 1

                            it MUST work.

                              Hello, workin on the latest version in 2016 and can't seem to be able to specify a batch render file type other than the default .png, it would be nice to select the vray image file type to be able to go back in and make exposure etc. adjustments.
