Product Notes


Right now there is no render queue that allows you to render Daz studio timeline animations in a good way as far as Im aware. Instead you can use this script to save out each frame in the timeline as its own file, and then render them as single files in the render queue of your choice.

How to use: The script works with the total frame number - 31 by default, which means it will save frame 0 to 30. So change this total frame number so that only the frames you want to save are visible in the timeline, then click to run the script from Content Library.

By default the scenes are saved in the folder "C:/temp/scene_frames" if you want you can change this by opening the script in the editor and scrolling to the bottom.

SirRonmit yes you can use image series to render a single scene and single camera. But render queues allow you to chain multiple scenes after each other and often shut down your computer when it's done for convenience. I have tried a bunch of different ones and none of them handle timelines well though. Using this script rendering each frame as a single file you can also get multiple camera angles without having to switch. It's all about doing as many renders as possible with as little human input as possible.

I thought DAZ did this by default if you chose to? Render Settings : General : Render Type : (dropdown) Image Series : select which frames you wish to save as images. (eg. 12-72) An animation I did last summer or two saved 256 frames as separate images. I then opened the ones I wanted to edit (lights, flares, etc. with my paint program), then used my movie editor to compile them together. I'll download and look at your script to see what I'm not understanding/missing. Thank you.

Thanks for the clarification, hugepatreon. I'll study how to save a frame, such as only the last one. Much still to study! Thank you!

Right now the script does not work with frame range, like setting the Range between 10-15 for example. It will always save all the total frames in the timeline. But if you only need to save the last frame you can to it manually :)

I'm not very far along in learning animation, but this looks like a good time-saver. I've saved whole scenes for this purpose, to keep the timelines and all my work on them safe. So I guess this is similar, where the script saves each frame individually. I wonder if it can save just the last frame, for example, for continuing with the animation from that point at a later time. Thank you for this! I have a lot to learn, but this will be fun to incorporate into the process!
