batches for all

Yep. That would be very helpfull!

Does ffBatch work in FF3? I have not used it before, but since I have some animation-related stuff to try, I thought it might come in handy. But I can't seem to get it to do anything. Meaning, I get as far as downloading and extracting the zip file and running the command line renderer but get no output.

Is there something I need to know about in the path names? I have checked them a number of times and put any folder names that had special characters (such as spaces) inside quotes.

I also created a new blank source image file in case it needed a source image.

But I get nothing as a result of the batch, not even an error message.

The extent of output I get is (in the Command prompt):

"Filter Forge command line renderer, version 3.009.
© 2006-2010 Filter Forge Inc. All rights reserved.
Professional Edition
License Name: ThreeDee
Usage FFXCmdRenderer-x86-SSE2.exe [-l log_file_name_prefix] task_file"

And then the C:> prompt shows up again.

Anyone know what might be the problem?

I've got my first batch rendered animation done, all glorious 10 seconds of it!

It is a flyover of Suburbia (Smudge 3D'd), and you can see it here on YouTube.

Thanks SpaceRay. I made another version, this time rotating around.

Cool tool, thx a lot for making this, Sjeiti!

I'm currently on a project that requires numerous animation and render maps. So I thought I'd fire up ffBatch for some good Filter Forge command line rendering. Only to find out that it no longer works.

It was probably a server-side issue. But eleven years later you can easily assemble ASCII and zip files on the client-side, so I rewrote it.

There might be some issues and I have not yet implemented the input image.
I'm also curious to know if the .sh script incuded in the zip actually works (I'm on Windows which fires up Git Bash, but I'd love or this to work on OSX as well).

It has indeed moved but I thought I redirected https://ffbatch.sjeiti.com to the new http://sjeiti.github.io/ffBatch/
Oh wait: I see what location you mean. I'll go and try redirect that as well.

I'm still working on the generic input image (webapps not having direct access to file system is a challenge). A ColorInput with an image does already work: just drag the image onto the color swatch.
