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.
