| Tutorial -The Vray Batch Render user interface overview |
| User interface - Vray Batch Render PRO V6.2 |
| |
 |
|
| User interface - Batch max files operation |
All the max files (scanline,vray) only in the render list can be rendered.You can use ¡°Add¡± button add them one by one ,or add a folder,or all .max files in its sub-directory.
¡°Apply to All¡± means copy all settings of current file to all files in the list,such as output size,output file format etc. |
 |
|
| User interface - Batch cameras operation |
¡°Open Scene¡± lets you open a max file in your render list,provides a way to add cameras you want to batch render.
Note: The difference between ¡°Vray Batch Render¡± and ¡°Batch Render¡± of 3dsmax itself,3dsmax cannot batch render multi-scene,and cannot save and load .vrmap & .vrlmap files when using "Irradiance map"+ "light cache"render mode for Vray,"Vray Batch Render" can do that very easy. |
 |
| When the select file is opened,render list will be disabled.After finish adding cameras,the important step is add cameras which you want to render to the right list,and press ¡°Close Scene¡± to do the same steps for other max files in the list. |
 |
| Note:Only cameras in this list can be batch rendered. |
 |
|
| User interface - Time Output |
| Just like 3dsmax itself,you can use ¡°Vray Batch Render¡± to render one frame or animations. |
 |
|
| User interface - Output Size |
Each max file in the render list can has its output size,for example,my_work_01.max - 640X480, my_work_02.max - 800X600.
Render area also supports. |
 |
|
|
| User interface - Input/Output |
¡°Make Path¡± is a very useful function,press it will batch create output file path for max files in the render list.
¡°Make Dir¡± lets you create a folder as the same name as current file,and all output files will be created in that folder when rendering.
This is a very useful function for animation,For example,there are 2 files in the list:my_work_01.max, my_work_02.max,the output folder name will be ¡°my_work_01¡± & ¡°my_work_02¡±. |
|
| ¡°Channels¡± here can be created base on scene materials,lets you easy adjust(such as easy select area) your output files in Phoshop or other tools . |

| User interface - Vray irradiance map & light cache settings |
As we know,irradiace and light cache are very import features of vray,and most users are use these render mode,so Vray Batch Render provides an easy way to do that -auto save and load .vrmap & .vrlmap files .If you want to use this mode,check the ¡°Save & Load automatically¡± option,otherwise,do not check it.
¡°Don't Render Temportay Image¡± just like ¡°Don't Render finalImage¡± of vray ,the only difference between them,the vray can not reload saved .vrmap or .vrlmap after rendering,you need to reload them manually.Vray Batch Render can do those steps automatically.
Tip:Usually we render a small outsize to save .vrmap or .vrlmap and then load them again for a big output size in order to save time .This is why we need to save them at first,then reload them to render again.
¡°Auto close Reflection/refraction¡± means if a vray scene does not include a large area of glass,you can check this option to save render time.
Tip:Usually we close ¡°Reflection/refraction¡± of Vray Renderer during rendering a scene to save .vrmap or .vrlmap files without a large area of glass, then we need to open it to render a big output size.In this way,we can also save the render time.That is why we need to close it at first,open it at last. |

¡°1.5 RC¡±:Means support light cache render mode.
Note:Some versions of vray do not include light cache render option,so do not check ¡°1.5 RC¡± option.
Vray Batch Render also can use ¡°Irradiance Map Mode¡± to save render time like vray. |
