Please, how to batch render with command líne all presets of filter ?

Hello, maybe i can help further. I am learning to use the command line renderer (on Windows 10) and managed to get it to work. I would try to create an xml file for you and assume that you mean a texture filter, not an effect filter.
The following info is still missing:
- desired image format (if necessary also bit depth/quality)
- complete export path
- complete path with name of your filter

First of all, i don't know if managing 99 presets is possible at all. That remains to be seen. So far i have only applied one preset to several hundred images.

As far as i understand, you know how to write an xml file, but not how to ins ert the different presets.

I use a kind of construction kit system with notes to create. With it, at least simple tasks can be accomplished with relatively little effort, as in your case.

I have successfully tested the mentioned filter. In png format with 8 bit. It is very CPU intensive. Per image with a resolution of 1200x1200 pixels it took sometimes over 3, 4 minutes. Because you wanted transparency enabled - it should be mentioned that the original presets have no transparency, so the results had full opacity. The original filter fr om Ramlyn has only 20 presets. After that, the renderer started all over again. Here i stopped rendering prematurely after more than an hour.

Edit: I added a custom (21st) preset, but the renderer ignores it and starts over. This probably means that 99 pieces are not possible. To test, i copied the filter to its own folder and tried again. Again without success. As a workaround you could copy the filter until you have 5 pieces with 20 presets each.

Attached is an xml file wh ere you only have to replace the paths (Result path and Filter value).

[ SpaceRayBatch.xml ]

Thanks very much for taking the time and try to help with this and is much appreciated and will now ttry to do it as you have suggested with 5 filter copies and will see if it works

Yes, I know that it is not fast, and this is why I want to do it with batch rendering so I leave it rendering until it finishes whenever it could be by night

Yes, it is needed transparency to be able to combine multiple parts together and thta that you can be able to see through them as it happens already in the filter but removing the background using alpha instead of a color

I will have to rebuild all the 99 presets because all of them have black background so I can not render it with background

Thanks very much for your help and wish you all the best

I'm surprised that it worked The recommended workflow is to create an editable copy (a custom filter) and specify it in the batch task.

This would save us users time to experiment.

Thanks for testing and for this suggestion, so then it is better that you use the command line renderer with custom presets it should not be with the original from library, and must be used with a copy of it in custom folder, and it would need to use the corresponding path to this copy of the filter
