Hi,
is there a way to bind Camera and Render Settings to Viewlayers? I am trying to figure out how to set up Blender scenes for different camera views and light setups + render settings. Basically what other apps call scene layers (Maya )or Takes (C4D).
I did find addons but they will likely break the setup when send to fellow artists without the addons
You could use the scenes system. It’s possible to have multiple scenes in the same blend file and they can have different render settings.
Each scene has its own set of view layers and they can all be accessed by the compositor automatically.
When you create a new scene, you have a choice between linked copy and full copy.
Linked copy will reuse the objects between the 2 scenes. This saves on file size and means that if you change an object in one scene, it changes in the other too.
Full copy is like having 2 separate blend files in the same file, you can change everything between the scenes, including the objects themselves.

Yeah that’s it , in blender a scene got an unique render settings and that is shared across all the scene’s camera and viewlayers.
You can start to hack some stuff with python but it can quickly get in the way especially with renderlayers as you now have to manage rendering by yourself ( with the addon)
I think in that case using scenes is indeed the only way to make it work without turning blender upsidedown !
