      I'm thinking of purchasing the Shaderlight rendering software. I've been playing around with the trial version and like the results.

      Question - Does anyone know if it's possible to schedule renders in Shaderlight, (or other render program if not) ? By that I mean is there a way to tell a render program to render the 15 scenes I have in my current model overnight ?

      The scenes are of a similar nature, so I'd be happy with global settings on all the materials and lighting, etc. I say that because I would think things would be a whole lot more complicated if each scene required their own individual settings.

        I've managed to sort this problem thankfully. It's just a case of setting Sketchup's animation settings correctly and then Shaderlight's animation settings also to effectively render each scene in your model without any intermediate / transition scenes. The "animation" is saved as a series of rendered images, so there you go - set Shaderlight on the animation task overnight and wake up to a set of 17, (in my case), rendered scenes.

            Cheers Mike, it worked perfectly.

            Why not make your PC work when you're asleep I say ... getting my own back on it for all those years of Windows updates and glitches πŸ˜„
