Blender Render Queue

BRQ is a super easy to use standalone batch renderer for Blender.

Originally built for indie or small teams, it is a completely separate app from Blender editor.
It will queue multiple projects and render them out.
Simply drag and drop blend files, sort them out, choose camera and view layers, start rendering and go back working while it renders in the background !

--------------------    FAQ   ------------------
-----------------------------------------------
Stuck on "Searching for Blender on your computer"

This can happen when updating your blender instance.

Please note that this will reset BRQ settings and queue.

• close BRQ
• Windows users, delete this file (or rename) : C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Render Queue\config.json
• Mac users, delete this file (or rename) : /users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Blender Render Queue/config.json
• restart BRQ
  

Render crash, stuck or wrong output result
If you experience any crash, rendering that never completes or unexpected render visual, please first try in Blender directly.
If the problem persist when rendering in Blender then the problem is not related to BRQ.

If however it is rendering just fine, some third-party add-ons installed on your machine may not be properly designed to work in background mode when using BRQ and may crash. Please disable any unused add-ons and try again.

If the problem persists, please enable the rendering log (Settings panel > Monitoring > Screenshots & logs > Save Blender rendering logs), render again to reproduce the error then send me the render log file.

Please also join the main app log file (Settings panel > Advanced > Debug reports > View log file), a sample blend project that creates the error will also help me troubleshooting.
