Batch Rendering - Batch Render Dialog
Rendering menu > Batch Render
The Batch Render tool offers you an efficient, visual approach to setting up a
sequence of different tasks or scene states to render automatically. From the
Batch Render dialog, you control the following:
■ Image resolution, pixel aspect ratio or time sequence if it differs from the
default rendering settings found on the
Render Scene dialog on page 5878
.
■ Whether to render a specific camera view or the active viewport.
■ Which camera view to render.
■ The output path where rendered images get stored.
■ Which
scene state on page 7185 is restored prior to rendering.
■ Which rendering preset on page 5922 is used per rendered view.
■ Whether all the batch rendering tasks should be sent to Backburner for
network rendering on page 6231 by multiple systems for even faster
rendering.
■ Exporting the batch rendering tasks and all parameters set in the Batch
Render dialog to a BAT file for later command line rendering on page 6361
.
NOTE The Batch Rendering dialog is for rendering different aspects of the same
scene, such as views from different cameras. To batch-render a number of different
scenes, use Backburner on page 6349 or command-line rendering on page 6361 .
Batch Render Completed
If a problem is encountered by the Batch Renderer, you will be notified by
means of the Batch Render Completed dialog. This is an error dialog that
appears and notifies you about which batch renders did not complete and, if
possible, provides a description of why the failure occurred.
