Once you've submitted the jobs you want rendered, you can exit 3ds Max (do not shut down the Backburner Manager or Server), or you can begin working on a new scene, or editing an old scene. Keep in mind, however, that your processor is spending most of its time working on rendering, so your computer will slower than usual. If you need to monitor the batch render processes, you can use the Backburner monitor for that purpose. (See "Understanding the Backburner Monitor" in the Autodesk Backburner User's Guide.) Batch Rendering - Batch Render Dialog Rendering menu > Batch Render The Batch Render tool offers you an efficient, visual approach to setting up a sequence of different tasks or scene states to render automatically. From the Batch Render dialog, you control the following: ■ Image resolution, pixel aspect ratio or time sequence if it differs from the default rendering settings found on the Render Setup dialog on page 6067. ■ Whether to render a specific camera view or the active viewport. ■ Which camera view to render. ■ The output path where rendered images get stored. ■ Which scene state on page 7399 is restored prior to rendering. ■ Which rendering preset on page 6114 is used per rendered view. ■ Whether all the batch rendering tasks should be sent to Backburner for network rendering on page 6433 by multiple systems for even faster rendering. ■ Exporting the batch rendering tasks and all parameters set in the Batch Render dialog to a BAT file for later command line rendering on page 6562. NOTE The Batch Rendering dialog is for rendering different aspects of the same scene, such as views from different cameras. To batch-render a number of different scenes, use Backburner on page 6550 or command-line rendering on page 6562. Batch Render Completed If a problem is encountered by the Batch Renderer, you will be notified by means of the Batch Render Completed dialog. This is an error dialog that Batch Rendering - Batch Render Dialog | 6553
