Batch Rendering Basics
Overview
Batch rendering can save you time, not by shortening render time, but
by automating the process so that you don't have to be there to watch
the render and save the image. GlowWorm handles all renders as though
they're batch renders.
Render
Click this button to begin rendering all jobs on GlowWorm's to-do list.
Once the rendering begins, GlowWorm will keep feeding Poser render jobs
until either the stop button is hit or there are no more jobs to be
rendered. Jobs will be deleted after they are rendered; if the render
is interrupted, the job will not be deleted.
Cancel All
Click this button to cancel all jobs on GlowWorm's to-do list.
Stop
Click this button to stop all rendering. Poser may need to finish
whatever it's doing at the moment before the jobs can be stopped. You
can click the "Cancel" button on Poser's render status dialog, or hit
the Escape key to speed up the canceling.
Batch Rendering DO's and DON'T's
Don't let your screen saver
turn on while rendering. It's better to disable your screen saver (and
automatic standby) and turn off your monitor; otherwise valuable system
resources will be used while rendering.
Do close other programs when
rendering. If your computer is capable, you can use other software
while GlowWorm feeds Poser render jobs, but it will slow down the
process and make memory errors more likely.
Don't try to render scenes that
have missing files.
Do know what you're rendering.
When you're doing a large animation, render one frame in Poser before
you have GlowWorm render the whole thing.
Don't minimize Poser while
running GlowWorm. If you want to use another application, access it
through the Start Menu or Task Bar.
Do be sure that your computer
can handle rendering your scene with your chosen render settings.
