Animator generating video problem
-
Hi guys,
I am having issues to generate my videos in Animator I am using Sketchup Pro 2021 and VRay 5. I have no idea what the issue is I have tried the whole of last week but I only get to 14% of maximum so far. The first couple of frames render but randomly stops rending. I am doing the rendering with vray at low quality but ideally would love it to be at medium and the animation is about 31.7 seconds max. If someone can help me I would really appreciate it.

It's difficult to tell...
How many frames did you generate and how many are there in total? What is the average duration for rendering a single frame?
Does this block always on the same frame?
I suggest you open the Ruby console while generating the video. I left traces so that it shows what is going on.

I think you go beyond the capability and the regular use case of Sketchup, Animator and VRay. They don't have the capacity of a Pixar Studio. It's already a miracle that it run for 13 hours.
Reasonably, for an animation, you should keep the rendering time for a single frame under 1 or 2 minutes. Try outside Animator and then use the same settings.
Also, make sure you have enough disk space, as Animator generates all the images before stitching them (and deleting them).

At least now you know it can go on for more than 13 hours lol. Very new to Sketchup, VRay and Animator so wasn't really sure what I can get from it. If you can make any recommendation in terms of what settings I should set my Vray rending or something I should do in Animator because I just need a simple rendered version of my animation. I think there is an issue perhaps with Sketchup 2021, Animator and Vray working together because I have the lowest setting and the amount of time its taking is far to long for a 31.7s clip. I would be very grateful if you could help me find a solution to this problem as I do enjoy the plugin. -
I will try to attach some pictures of the rendering I might have too many frames perhaps.
There are 795 frames and on my first try it generated 108 frames but it glitched and stopped working it took 40 mins for each frame I believe. The issue has been even worse on other tries you can see from the pictures. Is there any other rendering software that you can recommend as this project was not meant to take this long.Thank you for your speedy reply and help.
