Overnight Batch Render

Spline Dynamics has released Overnight Batch Render a new tool for 3DS Max that promises the user a simplified way to render files sequentially on a single PC. Features include:

  • Render multiple scene files sequentially on a single computer.
  • Render multiple cameras per scene, taking settings from 3dsMax built-in Batch Render tool.
  • Render different states or variants of a scene: support for 3dsMax scene states and state sets.
  • Edit and manage your render queue from a very user-friendly interface.
  • The render queue is always preserved, saved in an external file, until you clear it.
    You can add new scene files to it at any moment before firing the render. Or re-render the same queue after it’s finished, if you need to.
  • Override render output size, filename and frame range for all renders from a single place. 
  • Suppress all kind of warning messages to avoid interruptions during the rendering process
  • Auto-save renders with a missing output filename and prevents overwriting output files by auto-renaming duplicated filenames.
  • Shutdown computer when finished
  • Straightforward and easy to use.

Overnight Batch Render costs $21. Find out more on Spline Dynamic’s website.

You can use deadline to do this for free. But it is a pain to setup I find so there is room for something like this.

From my experience, Deadline is pretty straight forward to setup. I’ve done it a few times though so it may just be that I’m used to it.

yeah i used to find it simple but since the addition of the cloud (deadline 8 i think) part I get really confused with the cerificates and what not.

You don’t need to worry with any of that stuff if you’re just setting it up locally. Just disable SSL/TLS. It’s really only for authentication from outside your network.

Don’t you have to pay for Deadline, per node? The only way to even get information seems to be to send them a request to AWS.

It’s free up to 2 nodes.
You can download it using regular amazon account on aws.

$50 per node, per year after that? Yikes. I’ll suffer through Backburner and email notifications. 🙂

Email notifications? I never have got the render set email notification to work. Could you please share the values you input?

Nice tool and thanks for sharing!
I would recommend people that are interested in such things to try out “Prism” first.
Prism is the free successor to “L-Pass manager” from back in the days.
I cannot see a thing in the video that you would not be able to do with prism plus you get a complete pass manager feature set.

Again, no disrespect towards spline dynamics though!

We bought Prism but unless I’m mistaken you need to use its workflow in order to do batch renders. If you just have some files you want to render out in succession it doesn’t seem this feature exist.
