Batch Camera Render 1.7

2009-10-21

Download Script

Version:
1.7

Release Date:
21 October 2009

New Features and Improvements:

  • Image file name template system implemented - now you can use special keywords to include camera name, scene state name, date, resolution, scene file name and project folder name in image file name or path. Therefore, "File name from camera name" and "Add folders from camera name" flags were removed.
    The keywords are:

    • %cameraname%
    • %scenestate%
    • %resolution%
    • %date%
    • %scenename%
    • %projectfolder%

    Example usage:
    D:\Work\%projectname%\%date%\%cameraname%.jpg

  • Added new flag "Create new paths silently" - if this checkbox is set paths that doesn't exist at the moment you submit rendering will be created silently without any warning. If checkbox is not set warning dialog box will be displayed.

  • Net Render Options parameters are saving to the special .ini file located in the ..\plugcfg\BatchCameraRender\ folder. Port parameter is fully functional and none of these parameters are hardcoded anymore.

    For the first time the script is running you should set "Auto Search" to desired state and enter IP mask or manager name. Then press "Save Settings" to save net render parameter values to ini file. Port number is optional parameter, and default value will be used if you don't change it.

  • New buttons added to UI:

    • "Set Viewport" button to set selected viewport to selected item in camera list.
    • "Get Viewport" button to select list item according to selected viewport.
    • "x2" and "1/2" to quickly halve and double rendering resolution.
    • "to Max" and "from Max" to set or get resolution from or to max's Render Setup window.
  • Several bug fixes.

You have french version of 3dsmax, I suppose. That may be the root of problem, I didn't test it with localized version.
