Start rendering Turntable Animation from a certain frame or angle
I would like to render a turntable animation in batches instead of all at once, so I can continue the rendering process at a later time without restarting the entire render from the first frame.
I am asking since I sometimes have the case that I would like to do a different rendering task or if the rendering might fail at some point for uncertain reasons.
With the noise setting of 0.001 and material settings set to high and light settings set to very high and setting a limit of 4 minutes per frame - a turntable animation with 360 frames could take 1440 minutes which equals to 24 hours, 2mins/frame = 12 hours, 1min/frame = 6 hours
In this regard, to prevent always rendering from the start again, is there a way to start the render from a certain number of frames or angle in the turntable animation in CLO3D?
I'd appreciate your support.

Hi. Currently this is not possible with turntables, but it is a feature request.
Instead you could use key frames and animate the camera. This will then allow you to start and stop at specific frames. We have a tutorial HERE which is a different topic, but at the end shows how to do a 360 camera

Thank you so much for your quick reply and for providing me with the link to the tutorial with the workaround!
Hereby I'd love to request this feature for the native "turntable animation" feature — is there a specific page where I shall do this, or could you submit this request for me?
On another note, I'd like to change my profile photo here, but I didn't seem to find a way to do this yet — if you could give me a hint on where to find this setting, that would be amazing. I tried to edit my profile here on support.clo3d.com, but there is an info "The name, profile photo, phone, and email are set automatically. You can't change them here." Also, updating the profile photo at https://connect.clo-set.com/ or https://www.clo3d.com/en/accounts didn't help.
Many thanks in advance!

You are very welcome! Many users have actually found this a better option than turntable.
There is no need to put in a request. I meant that it is already been previously requested and passed onto our dev team already :)
For changing your photo it is a bit confusing and actually in the process of being updates. You need to go to your Account Page > Click on Request History (left side) > then in the upper right corner click on your User ID# > Profile > Edit Profile (blue button on the left side)

Thank you for your feedback — unfortunately updating the profile photo doesn't work there as well. If you have any other hint on how to achieve this I'd appreciate it!
Many thanks!

Sorry. I did not realize this function did not work. Since this is part of the web team you will need to reach out through the website contact us for more assistance on the photo issue

Hi there CLO Support Team, I just again had this situation (having it very often) where I want to continue a rendering in CLO at a certain frame. This works fine with setting a start and end frame, but an issue that comes with this is that the generated filenames always start at 0 and do not have the frame number 8 for example, if I set the Start Frame as 8. The filename starts with the suffix _0 and _1 and so on, rather than _8 _9.
If you could consider adding a simple way to fix this or if there is an existing solution to this, I would very much appreciate your feedback. Many thanks!

Hi aln3.0
Thank you for the follow up. The ability to restart from specific frames of a Turntable is currently a Feature Request. There is also a current Feature request for the ability to alter the naming/numbering of the frames when users restart.
A current work around for renaming. You can use Adobe Bridge to batch rename files quickly if you have the program.

Thanks a lot for the hint. Also importantly to note is that existing image frames are being overwritten if you restart the render in the same folder. If there could be the option to avoid this, I assume that would be very helpful in many situations.
By the way, natively in Finder on MacOS there are also comfortable options to batch rename files (select all files > right click > "rename"). Unfortunately though, there is no option to reverse the index number of frames easily. Reversing a sequence needs to be done with alternative video tools after the image sequence has been imported. If you might know of an easy way to achieve that too, I'd appreciate it.

Hi aln3.0
Always happy to help or find work arounds. Yes, existing frames will be over written since they start back at 0 :(
What I have done in the past if I needed to start over is change the location of where the frames/images will be saved. I by default save all renders to a folder on my desk top, but if I need to I make an additional file inside of that one and temporarily change the save location
Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for the hint, doing it this way already! I am creating folders "First Batch", "Second Batch", depending on the context etc.
Thanks again for your quick replies!
