Benefits of batch rendering

Craft quality renders while saving time and money using batch rendering in the Media & Entertainment Collection.

  • STREAMLINED PRODUCTION

    Streamlined production

    Batch rendering allows you to quickly render multiple scenes with different rendering views or objects that may change between scenes. With batch rendering, you can still work on scenes while your work renders.

  • INCREASED EFFICIENCY

    Increased efficiency

    Batch rendering in the Media & Entertainment Collection delivers enhanced workflow efficiency, including the ability to set up a sequence of different tasks or scene states to render automatically.

  • INCREASED QUALITY CONTROL

    Increased quality control

    Get automatic updates on progress and warnings about rendering problems or conditions you might have overlooked while assigning rendering tasks.

  • PRODUCTION AT SCALE

    Production at scale

    Use computing resources in the cloud instead of your network resources for batch rendering. Cloud Rights allow you to scale software resourcing, so your teams can focus on tasks by minimizing compute-related interruptions.

Batch rendering frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection subscribers gain Cloud Rights, which grant access to run remote batch functionality via multiple computers over the internet. They also get access to the Arnold 5-pack, enabling them to scale rendering output.

The Media & Entertainment Collection delivers powerful batch rendering tools that allow you to render even the most complex projects quickly. Batch rendering also improves performance by reducing the cost of processing.

The Media & Entertainment Collection supports several rendering methods including:

  • Interactive Photorealistic Rendering (IPR) so you can render and still see changes to a still image or a single frame of an animation as you make them.
  • Render View and Render Region to see what a still image or single frame of an animation (or a region of it) looks like as the render occurs.
  • Batch Render to render an animation or single frame and continue to work within Maya.
  • Command Line Renderer to further optimize rendering and render an image or series of images using any of the integrated Maya renderers.

 

The Media & Entertainment Collection includes Arnold, an advanced Monte Carlo ray tracing renderer. If the collection is purchased through a reseller, subscribers will have access to the Arnold 5-pack.
