Render Commander

Features

Flexible Launch Modes

• Render single still images
• Process sequential frame ranges
• Use custom frame lists or ranges (e.g., 1, 5–10, 25)

External File Inspection

• Extract scene and render data from external .blend files without opening them in Blender

Overrides & Presets

• Apply non-destructive overrides per render job
• Save and reuse complete configurations as presets

Parallel Rendering

• Cycles: Generates one worker script per available compute device
• EEVEE: Generates parallel scripts based on a configurable process count

Workflow

1. Configure & Generate

• Set frame ranges, apply overrides, and configure parallel options.
• Click Export Scripts and select your target directory.

2. Review Output Files

Each render job generates a paired set of files per worker:

• Launch Scripts (.sh/.bat): Start Blender automatically in background mode.
• Python Scripts (.py): Contain all render settings, overrides, and execution logic.

3. Execute & Monitor

• Run the launch scripts manually.
• Track progress via the console output.
