RenderMonkey 2

RenderMonkey 2 adds easy progressive rendering, batch rendering, rendering arbitrary frame ranges, and combining pass groups to MODO. In short: it saves loads of time.

Features:

- Progressive Rendering UI makes rendering easy-peasy in MODO: no settings, no fuss, no muss.

- Batch Rendering UI lets you set up multiple jobs to render automatically. Set it and forget it. You can control every aspect of your renders, from frame ranges to pass groups to render outputs to render quality settings to custom commands to run before each job. It's an incredibly sophisticated tool, yes, but it's also easy to install, and even easier to use.

- Render any range of frames. For example, enter "1-3, 5, 10-8, 20-30:2" to render frames [1,2,3,5,10,9,8,20,22,24,26,28,30] in that order. Neat, right?

- Combine pass groups to see every possible combination. In the example (pictured above), we combine every camera angle for every material type for every car model in the scene, rendering them all in one fell swoop. This is quite possibly our favorite feature.

Render Monkey 2 represents and enormous effort. Hundreds of hours over many months were spent designing, building, testing, and tweaking it to make it as fast and seamless as possible. Thanks for helping make it possible.
