Batch Render for DAZ Studio 4 and RIB Where is it located?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I purchased this, since it will come in handy since I have a lot of project files to do.

But where is it located in DAZ?   I can't find anything for this in the program.

I looked the the pdf file, but that's of no help either.

What am I missing here?

Thank you

    It should be in your Daz3D Library\Scripts\Utilities\BatchRender DS_RIB\

    You open it via file->open or click on the ScriptIDE tab just above the viewport and select open script then execute

    Oh,  I was expecting an icon within Daz. 

    Thanks,  I will check it out

    ok had to find it,  was in my public folder,  instead of my own folder.

    Tried it out,  but seems like it's only doing the Perspective view?   Not the Camera 1,  that I have it set for.

    Can you only do the Perspective view with this tool?

    Are you sure the camera was the view in the active viewport?

    It loads whatever view the scene was set to when the scene was saved. So if you have a camera, but were on the perspective view when you saved the scene, the batch renderer will use the perspective view. Change to your Camera 1 and resave the scene.

    Thank you kaotkbliss,  that was it..

    So I need to make several DUF's for that scene, since i have a few camera's in that one.

    Thank you people for explaining it :)   

    Much appriciated

    ugh..

    Seems like with the new Daz update,  the Script doesn't work anymore..

    I open it,  and nothing happens anymore.

    Umm, that's not good. I've only had my batch renderer for like 4 days :(

    If it's no longer working in 4.9.2 then there needs to be an update right-quick!

    I opened up a ticket,  but no clue who to contact for it..

    The original website  doesnt have an e-mail address..

     

    luckely i made a copy of the previous DAZ version...  so i might rollback to the older one... but not sure if it ruins my database,  since it updated that one too.

    Is there any error message in the log? Try running the script, then immediately go to Help>Troubleshooting>View Log and scroll to the end to look for relevant messages.

    well.... this is odd....

    Now all the sudden it works...  before that, nothing would load in the box.   the box stayed empty..

    I must have tried it tons of times,  even restarted etc...

    Someone is messing with me..

    It's always the way - there is a magic in posting a question or problem in public that answers or.fixes the issue, sometimes.

    lol I guess.

    But I do have some weird issues with the new version.. I posted a new thread for that.

     

    This is what's showing in the log for this  There is nothing behind Result... not sure if there was any in the past

     

    2016-34-26 17:34:12.789 DEBUG: Executing Script...
    2016-34-26 17:34:17.415 DEBUG: Result:

    Just rendered 5 scenes,  working great.

    I'll keep using the settings that are in the Duf files.  If I use the profile files,   then the lightening ain't there.. (Unless I need to save the Duf file on the lightning position? )

    "Result:" would show the return value from the script, if any - since nothing is there it didn't return anything.
