Maniphest Tasks: T88624: Render Queue

Summary

Here is a prototype of a render queue. It is useful to render multiples cameras automatically. It is based on a new structure : RenderQueue, that contain camera, frame, and other things. The idea is then to allow the user to choose overridable settings for each render queued (ex exposure, resolution, sampling, etc).

I would like to receive feedbacks/reviews about the ui and the ux; and also on code itself ;).

TODO :
Nothing, this revision is just a base for the upcoming settings.

DONE :

Frame by layer
Finish the moving operators
Render individual
Show render status (actually in console)

ABANDONED ( further implementations, to be discussed ) :

Resolution by layer
Switch to render layer
Exposure by layer

Note : This patch is now open for review

I think a list type(UI for user) of render queue still remain lots of problem, it is hard to cover what user want to change between each render.
Base on the 'renderBurst' and my 'smartSceneManager', I build a node system that can achieve the same result.link

I think the goal of a first implementation is a simple, working, and useful system, as simple as it is. Maybe, in the future, it will be cool to be able to compare layers, to spot the differences. Maybe adding the RenderSettings to the renderlayer can be doable, but it is absolutely not a first need.

Imho, the most useful and basic tool is viewlayers with cameras stored in a list, ready for rendering. It allows the user to hide some object for some views, and show for others.

Slot moving first update
Camera pointer corrected -> cleaning of the unused lines
Minor ui changes
Merge branch 'master' of https://git.blender.org/blender into renderqueue

This is a VERY useful and interesting feature.

TBH I think there are some features left, for each camera we use to need different exposure settings (think in exterior / interior) and we also need different render resolution, as well as sampling, so having those types of overrides per camera would be VERY useful.

Anyways, it's a VERY VERY WELCOME FEATURE!
