I have 1500 + models to render and I’m hoping there is some type of automation/extension/plugin that would help me.
These models are all relatively the same size and will all use the same material, lighting and view. I’m just looking for a way to place each model in the same spot but each have it’s own scene named by it’s filename so I can batch render with V-ray.
Doing this individually will obviously take a very long time. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The products/models will all be imported from STL’s/3d DWG’s.
This indicates to me that each object will require some manual attention once imported into SketchUp before it will be suitable for rendering.
You could set up a template with a number of scenes and tags along with your V-ray lights and background. Each scene would be set up to show a different tag. Establish a workflow that includes applying a tag to the imported object.
I would not try to include all 1500+ objects in a single scene. Instead I would split them out into maybe 10 or so per SketchUp file to reduce the damage if a file goes pear-shaped.
Please update your forum profile. It’s extremely out of date.
From the many .stl and other imported files I’ve seen, I think the major part of the work will be fixing up the objects so they are presentable. With a suitable template the rest of it is trivial in comparison.
