Blender automatic render python script for 32-bit graphics
Posted: 06 Feb 2007 09:11
I created a python script that will render from different angles with different sizes automaticly.
It will create a directory for each file you render and puts the png files there. For example if you set as rootpath "C:\\myrenders\\" and your file is called "myfile.blend" you will have a directory
c:\myrenders\myfile
containing
myfile_1_25.png (frame 1, 25%)
myfile_1_50.png (frame 1, 50%)
myfile_1_100.png (frame 1, 100%)
myfile_2_25.png (frame 2, 25%)
...
myfile_4_100.png (frame 4, 25%)
How to use:
1. Open the file to be rendered
2. Download the script, or copy this text into Blender
3. Change "RootPath = "c:\\ottdrenders\\"" into a directory of your own choice. Note the "\\" instead of "\"!!
4. Press alt-p (or run script)
5. Wait for a certain amount of time depending on what is rendered, your computer specs and the position of mars relative to the earth
6. Upload your work

# assuming 4 frames, each frame will be rendered at 3 zoom levels
for i in range(1,5,1):
print "Frame #" , i
myContext.currentFrame(i)
for d in zoomLevels:
print "Zoom level ", d ,"%"
myContext.setRenderWinSize(d)
myContext.render()
myContext.saveRenderedImage(curFile + "_" + str(i) + "_" + str(d) +".png")
