Batch rendering a target node inside a group.

[manalokos]

Hello

The possibility of making groups is great and dramatically reduces the caos in a scene.
But I am trying to setup a batch render and cannot render target nodes that are inside groups. How can I do this?

Thanks

Kind regards

Are you using Lua? If yes, you need to fetch the render targets with this command, you should be able to get all render targets with this command (note the second parameter of :findNodes()):

Code: Select all

allRenderTargets = octane.nodegraph.getRootGraph():findNodes(octane.NT_RENDERTARGET, true)

If not, how are you doing the batch rendering?

Hello

I am using the command line rendering using a .bat file.

Yes, it seems that is currently not possible. We will fix it in the next release.

so, if I understood good (from answer), we'll still be able to use command line, not only Lua?

Sure, why not? Now, you can also run Lua scripts via the command line, but you can stick to the old command line arguments, if you want.

Great! for some reason I thought that Lua is going to be the only option to do batch =)

Any example of Lua from command line you can share?

Thanks!

The good thing about the command line is that you can make changes on the fly, with lua octane becomes inacessible.

You can run your scripts with octane.exe --script C:\PATH\TO\myScript.lua. There's no difference with the normal lua scripts (although, Octane is started with the default project).
