Are you under the impression, that a scene file that contains a specific render setting, and used as XRef, will have an influence of the “host” scene? Host is used here for a scene that contains XRef.
I know the render settings of the “scene which is rendered”‘s settings will be used, and not the xRef’s inside it.
Any Render-settings of a scene file which is used as XRef will be ignored AFAIK.
AFAIK also.
As the render settings include the path for the results, I fear there is no change all at once. If that would make sense or be workable, then the Render Queue would have an option to load Render Settings.
I’m not sure what you mean here
If you like to have it for new scene file, then create an empty scene and set it up as you need it, then save it as NEW.c4d into your app folder.
Great tip, I know about this also but it isn’t applicable to my problem.
Anything else, I guess you have to load in the wanted render settings in the Render-Settings…>Load Settings.
Yes this exactly is my problem, having to do this tens, even hundreds of time for 2D asset creation commission as render requirements are changing based on feedback/development.
I could only think of a Python script that limits that work to a click on an icon.
Agreed, not sure if there’s anything like this available anywhere.
The settings are not stored somewhere in a separate from, as in each setting separate, they are stored in a compressed file, and named user.lib4d (as shown in the Load option.). To my knowledge, the “My Render Settings are not an option to be overwritten, as this could cause quite some trouble. I caution against it, if to try and “hack” it.
That’s correct, since no file modification is possible, the only thing I could try was deleting the settings used by all my scenes and saving the new one under the same name. Unfortunately this didn’t work and is how I realised the render settings are actually stored within the c4d scenes, they have the name of the file, but its cosmetic only, not a dynamic link/reference to the render settings file.
This would explain why you can’t pick a newly made render settings template from the dropdown for the renders in the render queue, only ones that are stored in the actual c4d scene files.
However, I think implementing this feature wouldn’t be too complicated, and although the render queue dialogue doesn’t have the ability to set settings for multiple scenes(which would also be a great feature), it would still be a welcome solution to having to open each scene separately and load/apply the settings that way.
Perhaps I miss a point, but so far I have read your post, this is my current conclusion.
I think you get my problem, and yeah right now it seems like it would need some sort of complicated script and/or .bat to sort it out.
