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.



Chaos Cloud Batch Render Options

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 from V-Ray for Rhino



Submit from V-Ray for SketchUp



Submit from V-Ray for Revit

To submit a batch of render jobs from V-Ray for Revit, select the views you want to render from the drop-down menu of the View Selector.

Then, the Batch Render button in the toolbar is unlocked. Press it to start submitting the scenes to the Cloud.

Once the Cloud app is ready with exporting the scenes, Chaos Cloud submission screen appears in your browser.




Submit Multiple Cameras from V-Ray for 3ds Max



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.
