Improved batch render script

[stratified]

Hi all,

I've spent some time combining the batch render script with the render animation script. This script will ship with the next release of the standalone. We already want to put it out here so you can already use it and help us find some bugs

Thomas,

When I am using this script (and this http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=41388) as the scripted graph node an error occurs. Is there a way to 'refresh' script settings without a need of reloading it? How shall a proper scripted graph node work?

Could you also help in further improvement of the script http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=41388. I have several remarks which I'd love to be coded. I'll post them there.

Hi,

I guess you're not using the latest version of Octane? The script "remembers" some of it's settings as part of the project and that feature was introduced only recently. It should work with 2.23.1.

cheers,
Thomas

Hi,

You can't use the script as a scripted graph. The easiest way to use the script is put it in your scripts folder (configured via File -> Preferences -> Application tab). Reload your scripts (Script -> Reload Scripts). Now you should have an entry in Scripts called batch-rendering. In the next release of Octane, the script will be always in the menu.

To clarify, there are 2 types of Lua scripts in Octane. Regular scripts and scripts that can be used by a scripted graph. Scripts for a scripted graph require a specific code structure. Those 2 types of scripts aren't interchangeable.

Unfortunately I don't have time right now to help out with the script. We're heads down in 3.0 development.

cheers,
Thomas
