Batch Render Creator - Local Render Farm/Queue for Blender

BRC V3 IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT

BRC v3: New Features & Benefits

Batch Render Creator v3 brings powerful new tools and enhancements designed to improve your rendering workflow. Key features include automatic error recovery, the ability to forcefully close Blender in case of problematic addons, and the option to pause rendering. The v3 also introduces automatic project data loading for faster setup, improved error logs for easier reporting, a more responsive and user-friendly interface, and plans for Linux and macOS support. Plus, an addon will allow you to send project data directly from Blender to BRC v3, streamlining your process even further. And there's more to come!

⚠️🐧 THE LINUX VERSION WILL BEGIN TO BE DEVELOPED AFTER STARTING THE BETA PHASE FOR WINDOWS.

WHAT IS BATCH RENDER CREATOR?

It is a desktop application that only supports Windows at the moment that automates Blender's rendering tasks.

You create a rendering list, where when a render is finished the next one in the queue is started right away, without having to perform any manual task after creating all the necessary renders.

You can also add some additional tasks, such as being notified whenever a render is completed using the Windows native alert system, creating an audible alert after all renders are finished, or shutting down, restarting and putting the computer to sleep after finishing all renderings.

Batch creator is very useful for rendering multiple projects and saving rendering time.

Batch creator is very useful to render several projects and save rendering time, mainly to render several scenes and an excellent tool for small studios that want to have a solution similar to a render farm but with low cost.

Fixing FREEZING Issue Caused by Third-Party Addons:

VERSION 2.1.2 - Beta 4

1) Added an error message warning that the render was frozen due to a problem with some problematic third-party addon with instructions on how to solve the problem.

2) Fixed a problem when editing a render.

VERSION 2.1.1 - Beta 3

1) Fixed the infinite loop issue when trying to load a Blender project where some problematic addons wouldn't let the BRC read the project.

WARNING: [ Super_IO] https://github.com/atticus-lv/super_io/
The Addon above Super_IO is causing a problem when rendering via command line, this is not a BRC problem, this addon is freezing the render after rendering the first project, with that the BRC or even rendering via command line freezes after rendering the first project. So if you use this ADDON we recommend disabling it before starting any rendering via command line!

VERSION 2.1 - Beta 2

2.1 FEATURES:

1) Added a new window with the history of the last renders created so you can have control of when they were made, how long it took and if they were rendered successfully.

2) Added a new tool called Render Timer Calculator where you can generate an estimated calculation for your clients of how long the rendering process will take.

3) A new tool to open recent BRC projects, just right click the OPEN button and a popup will open with the last saved projects.
