There are many possible uses for this addon - it all depends on your imagination. In general, the idea is that in a scene with multiple cameras, once rendering from one camera is finished, rendering from the next one begins. This applies to both image and animation rendering. Since rendering is usually a lengthy process, the addon also includes the option to preview its functionality in advance.
Created documentation on ReadTheDocs platform. It should provide more clear information about how to use the addon, how to submit issues and about libraries used by this project. Project metadata also has been updated to display documentation as a website.
Fixed conflicting situations with other add-ons that are using bpy.app.handlers
. Now there is proper information about which addons and python modules may cause issues in user preferences:
For convenience also added button which would inform users about that. It would open user preferences so user can decide what to do:
If this warning ignored, Multiple Camera Render would temporarily remove third-party addon functions from handlers and bring them back when finishes its job. This may lead to unexpected behavior of other extensions, but only for execution time of Multiple Camera Render operators.
This is covered by tests as well, because as you can see from issue report this situations may lead to wasting too much of render time (almost 14 hours in issue report).
Minor fixes for scene properties:
Cameras Usage
property.This extension requests the following permission:
Writing execution log files inside extension directory
Thank you for pointing out this use case.
Please take a look at the documentation page about conflicts with other addons. I hope we can collaborate with Alexander so this functionality works well together.
Just what I needed! Thank you very much!
One thing that would make it even better is if it worked with the Individual Camera Properties add-on.
Now it shows a conflict, and I suppose the other add-on gets disabled.
If those two were merged or just worked together it would be a very powerful combo!
