Spline Dynamics has launched Overnight Batch Render, a new tool for 3DS Max that simplifies rendering files sequentially on a single PC. The key features include:
- Rendering multiple scene files sequentially on a single computer.
- Rendering multiple cameras per scene, utilizing settings from 3dsMax’s built-in Batch Render tool.
- Rendering different states or variants of a scene, with support for 3dsMax scene states and state sets.
- Editing and managing your render queue through a user-friendly interface.
- The render queue is always preserved, saved in an external file, until you clear it. You can add new scene files to it at any moment before firing the render, or re-render the same queue after it’s finished.
- Overriding render output size, filename, and frame range for all renders from a single place.
- Suppressing all kinds of warning messages to avoid interruptions during the rendering process.
- Automatically saving renders with a missing output filename and preventing the overwriting of output files by automatically renaming duplicated filenames.
- Shutting down the computer when finished.
- Straightforward and easy to use.
Overnight Batch Render is available for $21.
