Required steps for setup

• Download, unzip and open Render Rob.
• Add the Blender path in the settings dialog.

Usage

• Create a job with the Add button.
• Enter your .blend path and settings.
• Click on Start Render.

Render output

• If you want to render a still, you can either leave the start and end frame empty. If you want to render a specific frame as a still, enter a number in the start frame field, but leave the end frame empty.
• For rendering an animation enter both start and end frame.
• If read only is enabled, a new folder with a new version number is created and used as render output.
• The Folder and frame name consists of filename-camera-Scene-viewlayer-quality-version
• Empty folders of failed renders get cleaned up.
• Render Rob never overwrites images. If you deactivate overwrite, it creates a new folder for output. If new version is not activated, it continues in the folder with the highest version number and skips already rendered images. So if you want to re-render some images, delete them, and then render the job with overwrite activated.

Rendering

• Border rendering gets disabled, if high quality is active. Otherwise it remains enabled.
• Jobs get rendered in the order, they are shown in the list. You can reorder them with the up and down buttons.
• You can only render one scene in one job. If you want to render a second scene just duplicate the job.
• If no Scene is given, Render Rob renders the last active Scene.
• If no View Layer is given, Render Rob renders every View Layer.
