Render Queue (Manfriday or otherwise) WITHOUT restarting Daz

jeannny

Hi folks,

I am looking at render queue products and need to know if any of them can be used in a way that doesn't restart Daz Studio between renders. I think ManFriday's product is probably the best for my needs, except that it restarts Daz. I know this is a feature that is meant to deal with memory issues, but I don't have that problem and can usually render out many many cameras without noticable slow down in render times. However, I do have issues with Daz loading the wrong textures, or morphs loading incorrectly, when I reload files, and have to manually redo these each time I open the file. 

Is it possible to use a custom script for ManFriday's render queue that would prevent the restart between cameras? All other settings the same. 

Are there any other render queue products that can render multiple cameras, with beauty canvass .exr file output, that doesn't require Daz to restart? 

Thanks!

You should have a look at the render queue commercial thread. Manfriday posted a couple of days ago an announce thet he is about to release a new improved version of render queue that will not require to restart DS (among other improvements). Seems to be real soon now. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/319956/manfriday-s-render-queue-commercial

Besides that there is a similar product at renderosity called "batch renderer" that does not need a DS restart.

There is also RiverSoftArt's Render Doctor. It does not restart Daz Studio.
