  • How to render one scene animation from multiple views/cameras?

    Posted by Aleksey Shaferov on September 11, 2018 at 5:05 pm

    Hello!

    I’am making a short animation, and I need to render it from different views. Each view should be rendered in the same frame range, from frame 0 until the end of the animation. I know, it is possible manually: change active camera, go to render settings, change filename, render, repeat again…. But there are too many views I need to render. So this is too long.

    Is there any way to do it automatically?

    it sounds like CV-Frame Range 1.0 “Creates multiple Render Settings and Takes so you can easily render specific frames and frame ranges in a C4D project.” does that (haven’t used it myself) but it’s just making using Takes easier by the sound of it if you don’t have a Cineversity subscription.

    >it sounds like CV-Frame Range 1.0
    Thank you for your answer. But, CV-Frame Range is not looks like that, I’m looking for.
    Maybe I did not explain clearly enough, sorry for my bad English.

    Suppose, there are 40 cameras in the scene, and 50 frames animation.
    So, I want to render all the frames (from 0 to 49) for camera.1, all the frames for camera.2, all the frames for camera.3….. and so on. And I want to get result in something like that:
    camera-0_0000.jpg, camera-0_0001.jpg, camera-0_0002.jpg, camera-0_0003.jpg…
    camera-1_0000.jpg, camera-1_0001.jpg, camera-1_0002.jpg, camera-1_0003.jpg…
    ….
    camera-39_0000.jpg, camera-39_0001.jpg, camera-39_0002.jpg, camera-39_0003.jpg…

    I think, you need to use the render Queue.

    Go to Render>> Render Queue

    You just need to add your file as many times as you need it and change the camera in every render, so Cinema will render everything for you.

    Good Luck

    Imagination is the best tool…

    Thanks!
    But what if I need to recreate cameras? I will have to do all the steps manually again.
    Is there some automated solution for my task? Is it possible to control active camera and render filename with Python script, or something like that?

    Did you ever find a solution to this question? I need to do something very similar.
