3D-photo batch rendering

Post by paulemann »

Thanks so much for this great 3D-Software! [:)]

I have a dream:
as the rendering of (high quality) 3D-photos takes much time, it would be nice to have an improved batch tool for a whole sequence of photos for several hours/days/months.

Example: I want to see, how the sun (and shadows) moving around my house during one specific month/day/hour. Therefore I have to wait for the rendering of each photo and then to start with the next photo etc. For example: the first photo on 1.st of January at 6:00am, waiting, then the second photo (1.st January at 7:00am, waiting, 8:00am, waiting, 9:00am, waiting, ...etc, ...till 1.st January at 22:00(pm). Same procedur for 1st February, 1.st March..., ... until 1.st December. Puhh - takes a long time of waiting for the rendering and starting for each of the 192 photos for a complete overview of sun & shadow moving within one year ;-)

The batch render tool could do this job entirely alone after one initial setup.

Example:
sequence start: January 1.st, 06:00(am)
frequence: 1:00h (hourly)
sequence end: December 1.st, 22:00 (pm)

This "Live Time Saving Tool" would be a great help [:p]

Paul,

Try this:
- make a video
- choose your point of view
- set initial date and time, and make a "waypoint"
- repeat last step for every other date and time you want
- now render your video and see how sun & shadow change over time
