Quicker scripting of renderings


Cloud Hidden

Question

When mixing scripting of renderings and either QuickTime or other image creation, there's a lot of wasted time. First I have to get the image to render on screen, and then it has to render for the file creation. I've been told that some of the on-screen render included calculations necessary for rendering to a file, but I'm wondering how much. If I cmd-period to stop the on-screen rendering as soon as possible, I still get a good export. It seems that the main reason to have to do an on-screen render is just to let VW know that you wanna export that, instead of an OpenGL image or wireframe image, etc. If so, then the actual time to do the rendering on-screen is wasted as part of a script (or even if just exporting an image). So my wish list is for a way to export a rendering without having to draw the whole thing on-screen, which effectively doubles the run time of the script.
