Batch rendering?

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?

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.
