Can you queue multuple renders in Substance Stager?

Hi there,

Can you queue multuple renders in Substance Stager?

[Ares Hovhannesyan · Accepted solution]

No. Stager will ask to stop previous render. You can only render different camera views simultaneously.

If you mean renders of different scenes, like using Media Encoder for multiple videos, then no. Stager works with one scene at a time with no external renderer. You can queue up multiple camera views from the same Stager file and let them render sequentially, but Stager will remain in Render mode until they are done. You can't continue to design while Stager renders.

The lack of this feature is just tragic for me. I'm currently attempting to convert my work flow over to Stager from Boxshot and the lack of a render queue is just a massive block. I do packaging for a living and I often have to render out multiple different SKUs all at the same time. i.e. a bottle of orange flavour and then strawberry flavour and banana flavour etc. Sometimes there can be dozens of variations. In Boxshot I can queue all these and let them all render overnight. The lack of a queue in Stager means I can no longer do this and so during the day while I am working on other things my computer is constantly being slowed down by Stagers rendering process and I get interrupted in my work every 15 minutes or so to start another render. This is a massive productivity killer. I hope someone at Adobe reads this and makes it a priority to add this feature.
