Hey all
I’m rendering with terminal window and wonders:
can i render 3 cameras with one terminal command line ?
each camera looks at the object from a different pov:
camera1 frames 1-50
camera2 frames 10-20
camera3 frames 15-30
timeline markers wouldn’t help, i want frames overlapping while rendering.
My current line looks like:
./blender -b file path -o render files location -F PNG -x 1 -s 1 -e 50 -a
thanx

Sadly, this is pretty annoying to do with Blender. Not only do you not have the ability to define more than one active camera, you ALSO can’t set the active camera via the command line. The easiest way to handle this is to make 2 linked copies of your scene, and give each copy of a different active camera. You can switch scenes on the command line with the -S or --scene flag. (note the upper case on -S)
So something like: ./blender -b file path -o render files location -F PNG -S camera1_scene -x 1 -s 1 -e 50 -a
thanx ninja dude, can i give more then one line so it will render scene 1 and scene 2 after it ?
my aim is to leave my 3 cam project to render it self at the weekend.
Thanx

Just type them all up into a text file, make it executable drag it to your terminal, and run it. Google “making a shell script” if you need more directions on that one. It’s a skill worth learning, comes in handy all the time for many things besides being a cheap and dirty way to queue renders.
