render selected objects for compositing later...

[Gabriel Markari]

Hi !

I would like to know if it is possible to make a full render ( for example from frame 1 to frame 100 ) but only of the "selected object".

I know this is a simple wuestion, and offcourse I use the normal ( F 11 ) "render selected objects" comand to make test renders,
but I need to render all the frames to composite and adjust
the layers later.

Thanks,

Gabriel

Make the objects you dont want to see invisible to the camera. then render away. Thats in object properties btw 'p' then on the render tab, hit 'unseen by camera'

Thanks...I will try it.

But, then I will post into the "wish list" for LW, a function that let you render an animation of only the selected objects.

Is strange for me, that while LW let you render the selected objects for one frame ( F 11 ) ...don't let you do a render of a range of frames of the same "selected objects"...

I think it should be posible...

I tell you this, because maybe sometimes you have many objects,
and going through each properties panel for each of them clicking, can be tedious...

Other thing is that if you set all those objects properties to render only the remaining one, the scene becomes "unuseable" untill you turn all those objects into "viewable"again...

Anyway, I apreciate very much your answer...


Thanks !

I think you can use the spreadsheet manager to check multiple items at the same time. .. Just save your scene again with a different name if you want to keep the original.

After they have rendered I have a batch command in photoshop which gets rid of the alpha edging it leaves behind.
