This page provides information about batch rendering in Chaos Cloud.

 


Overview

...

Chaos Cloud rendering offers batch rendering of jobs exported from V-Ray for Rhino and SketchUp, as well as batch rendering of multiple cameras exported from 3ds Max and Maya. See below how to start a batch rendering process from each of the host apps.

Once all scenes are exported from the host app, Chaos Cloud rendering opens the submission window in your browser. You can see a list of all submitted jobs.

You can select an already existing project or create a new one for the batch to be saved.

Each job can be renamed. A Job credit limit option is also available for each still image job. Currently, this is not supported for animations.

The Upload Only option can be enabled per job or for the whole batch of jobs. It uploads the job(s) in the Cloud, but they are paused until manually resumed.

When ready, press the Submit button. Chaos Cloud rendering first lists a link for each job, but once they start rendering, a link for the Project appears.

For download options, see the Save and Download Options page.

Submit Multiple Cameras from V-Ray for 3ds Max
 Section

width55%
Batch rendering in Chaos Cloud is also possible when multiple cameras are selected in 3ds Max. This rendering approach requires the latest V-Ray 5 Update 1.
 
  1. First, add several cameras to your scene. Note that the current Chaos Cloud rendering workflow is still the default workflow - i.e. Chaos Cloud renders the scene with the active view set in 3ds Max.
     UI Text Box
    typeinfo
    Jobs from active view look as before. Still jobs have only one frame. Animations list all frames and can be previewed individually or in a video preview.
  2. Press the Chaos Cloud button (Image Removed). A note that multiple cameras are available is present on the Chaos Cloud rendering page. To render them, add the cameras from the drop-down menu.  Two filters are available below the drop-down:
    All – Renders all cameras.
    Clear – Clears all selected cameras and leaves the active view/perspective.
     
  3. If you do not want to render the different cameras, leave the drop-down empty, so that Chaos Cloud renders the job from the active view set in Render Setup > View to Render in 3ds Max.
     UI Text Box
    typenote
    You cannot render both the active view and the cameras in one render job. However, you can clone the job and render the active view or the different cameras in the cloned job.
  4. The camera name is added to the name of the frames. The camera name position can be adjusted in the Naming Output convention.
     
  5. The rest of the submission options are the same as the ones from the Chaos Cloud page. Press the Submit button.
     UI Text Box
    typenote
    The frame range, the aspect ratio, and the resolution are the same for all submitted cameras in one job.
    If you want to render different cameras with different options, e.g. different frame range, different aspect ratio, or different resolution, clone the job and render only the needed cameras with the corresponding options.
  6. A job with selected multiple cameras has several frames, each corresponding to a respective camera. 
    If the job is an animation, the frames are equal to the number of frames multiplied by the number of the selected cameras. The animation job has a video preview as well.

Submit from V-Ray for Maya
...
Batch rendering with Chaos Cloud for Maya requires V-Ray 5 update 2 and Chaos Cloud rendering 1.15 or later. This process is available for both Maya's New Render Setup System and the Legacy Render Layers system. 

  1. Setup your scene with multiple cameras and/or render layers.
  2. Click on the Chaos Cloud button (). In the Submit to Chaos Cloud window, you can choose Single or Multiple Layers to render.
  3. Choose one or multiple Layers/Cameras to submit. Note that when rendering in Single Layer mode, the Current Layer option displays the layer which is rendered and all renderable cameras available in it. In Multiple layers mode, all renderable layers are displayed.
  4. Submit your scene for render. Chaos Cloud rendering can submit directly from Maya, when the Direct Submit Options are enabled. Otherwise, Cloud redirects to the Chaos Cloud client app, where some of the options can be adjusted.
