Harmony 24 Premium Documentation: Render Blender Batch Node

Render Blender Batch Node

Harmony can render 3D models through Blender. The Render Blender Batch Node has the same functionality and behaviour as the Render Maya Batch Node.

The Render Blender Batch Node can be used to render 3D models through Blender while operating in Harmony. When a render is launched, The Render Blender Batch Node will take the 3D model as its input, render it through Blender, then composite the rendered image into the Harmony scene. The 3D model rendered by Blender will appear in Harmony in both the final rendered image and in the Render Preview mode in the Camera view.

When Blender is launched through Harmony, Blender will stay live and receive render requests from Harmony for the duration of the Harmony session.

NOTE The Render Blender Batch Node can be configured to use one of several rendering engines supported by Blender, such as Cycles, Workbench and Eevee.

NOTE In order to use the Render Blender Batch Node, you need to have Blender installed on your computer.
