Subject: Automatic Render Queue in poser8

 Hi 
I have just been talking to a IT guy who tells me that there is a way of setting auto renders in a queue on his rendering @ his place of work, the rendered files are then rendered over night .
Question is that possible in Poser8?
Or Poser2010?

 I think back around Poser 6, someone wrote a python program called GlowWorm which could do that. And Poser Pro 2010 can do it out of the box :)

I wonder if that will work with  Mac?
I take it the information  is in the Users guide on 2010

Thank You

In Poser 8:

Scripts > Partners > Dimension3D > Render Scenes

You have to save a bunch of PZ3s  to render in a batch first, of course.

 Thank you I will look at this option ASAP when I have finished the present render , probably around Christmas time.
Perhaps I should open a topic .
What do you do between renders?
One day like the Ford T the render times today will become a historical joke .
Sorry Ford T owners I think you have great cars.

There is an open-source version of GlowWorm...

code.google.com/p/pw-glowworm-source/

EDIT-I should add that the scripts are under the Source tab, and ideally you need Subversion installed to download it, although you can view the scripts in a browser...

As far as render times go,I remember it taking several seconds to merely display a peg image on a 486 machine...

Yes But I am New boy so ,I misguidedly thought when I purchased my Mac Book Pro a paid £2000
for the machine I thought it could at least render Poser 8 fairly quickly .
What a fool I am.

With only good intentions, I would just mention that the phrase "... render Poser 8 fairly quickly" is fairly meaningless.

The time a render takes depends much more on the content in the scene, and the render effects and quality settings, than on which render engine you are using. People with much higher spec machines than yours (e.g a top end Mac Pro) are quite used to renders that take many hours.

Your new Macbook Pro is higher spec'd than my first series iMac Core Duo, yet I can render in what I regard as reasonable times for the content, effects, and quality I want. But final renders can take hours, not minutes.

Poser Pro 2010 includes Queue Manager, which runs the Firefly render engine as a separate process (64 bit on your Mac) to Poser itself, and queues saved scene files for rendering in sequence. Poser 8, as mentioned above, can do something similar using third-party Python scripts, or there is the third party software option, which I personally would avoid as an unnecessary complication.
