Batch rendering multiple files (windows)
Posted by: | CommentsThis is not directly archviz related, doesen’t even come with a nice image, but found it a great time saver so thought I’d share.
The project I’m working right now presented a special challenge: I got 21 blender files to edit and render separately (it’s a presentation of elevator interiors, with many variations I could not help but making separate files). Yesterday I was really caught with having to prepare in a hurry a whole set of drafts and I hoped I will be able to do a batch render of all the 21 files so I started googling the way to do it.

Finished in time to submit my image. It was great fun and I am pleased with it, though I could have worked some more on a couple of details.
Future developements

I thought I could post my progress on the Future competition image. I managed to spend some time on it today but only on the nature part of it. I found a sky image I really liked, edited it a bit so it would fit the background and set up the lighting with Environment light -> sky texture. Added one point light for now, I will fiddle with lights more if needed when I make the interior.
