Absolutely Batch Render friendly! Really! Save tons of time for creating the Batch Render queue – just set up the EPC modifier for all cameras, seleсt one camera and press All EPC to automatically fill the Batch Render queue from all cameras.
No more wasting time for manually сhanging the HDRI Map and it's rotation, manually turning on or moving the specific Corona Sun (together with turning off / hiding / excluding the others Corona Sun in the scene) and manually hiding / excluding the Lights for each camera.
No more manual setting the Corona Sun direction according to the position of the sun in the HDRI Map – and changing it again after changing the HDRI Map. Linked to HDRI Map Corona Sun will automatically change it's direction after changing the HDRI Map. And you can adjust the position of the linked Corona Sun for the best light composition.
No more animation keys or Scene States needed to set or change anything listed above.
No more mistakes and re-renders because of using the wrong Corona Sun, HDRI Map or Lights – or because of using the wrong Scene State or animation key in Batch Render.
No more manual setting the output image file and resolution in Batch Render.
Save tons of time for creating Scene States (to prepare your scene for render-farm) – just select the camera (after setting the modifier) and save your environment as a Scene State in one click.
Apply the Color Correction Map for the HDRI Map and drag the node from the Color Correction Map to the modifier's HDRI slot – map rotation and Corona Sun link will still work.

How does it work?

Select the camera.
Apply the Environment Per Camera modifier.
Set the desired image resolution for this camera.
Set once the desired Batch Render output directory for this project.
After setting the environment in modifier (read below) return to this tab, set the final image resolution and use Set largest side for all EPC to set final image resolution for all cameras. Then use This EPC button to send current camera with EPC modifier to Batch Render queue, or All EPC button to send all cameras with EPC modifier to Batch Render queue.

Select from list or drag the node from the HDRI Map (or from the Color Correction Map applied on HDRI Map) and set the desired map rotation you need only for this camera.

Select from list or pick in the scene one (or several) Corona Suns you need to be turned on only for this camera.
Select the Corona Sun in the modifier's list and set it's direction according to the sun in the HDRI Map in one click by pressing the «Detect sun and link» button.
Apply the Corona Sun position and angle correction if needed.
If you use LightMix – remember to add all Corona Suns to one common LightMix channel.

Select from list or pick the lights you need to be turned on (or off) only for this camera.

Repeat this for the other cameras in your scene.
Start render from any camera or from Batch Render – now your environment will change automatically every time you (or Batch Render) switch the cameras!
