Skip task after defined task done

Hello, I really like the use of sequentials = 0, so it will solving the task first, last and middle. Anyway is it possible to skip or pause tasks after defined tasks done?

So for example there is this option to skip after n-th task, if set to -1 will run all task, 0 will skip all task, if set to 5, then after 5th task done, the 6th and the rest of the task will be paused/skipped.

Thank you and looking to hear your feedback.

Hi!
Unfortunately, there is no such option (parameter).
Try to look at this: https://cgru.readthedocs.io/en/latest/a ... b.html#ppa
May be it can help you.

I just checking it, so it required we need to set sequentials to 0, right? But it seems still not working

PPA works only if sequential is > 1.

ah ok2 got it. currently I set sequentials with this formula:

Code: Select all

sequentials = total_frame/(total_frame/5)
to get 5 frames not sequentials and set to PPA, but somehow it often get more than 5 frames or less. Is there a way to define how many frames for PPA?

PPA does not count frames. It makes job to render only non-sequential frames.
For example if sequential = 10, it will render each 10 frame (not 10 frames), then wait.
