Daz Animation to 3Delight RIB file(s)

I posted this in the Discussion forum by mistake.

I am looking for some way (either built into DAZ Studio or scripted) to output a DAZ animation into a RIB file or a sequence of RIB files.

My current workaround uses a highly modified MCasual's https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts5/mcjribrender script to create my animated sequences. I have "watch folders" where a batch file looks for RIB files and automatically processes them via 3Delight's standalone. I run these watch folder batch scripts on mutliple machines on my network. It works relatively well but it still requires some manual work.

The tough thing about the above workaround is that I cannot cancel the script once it has run and for long animations it takes quite a bit of time. I'd rather output just one RIB file with all of the frames contained within (which seems broken in vanilla 4.10 3delight render settings). Even if it needs to be multiple RIB files, I can live with that.

I wonder how everyone else does animated renders. Any tips appreciated!

To cancel a loop, you can use.

Thanks, I'll look to implement this.

So outputting a single RIB file which contains an animation is not possible in DAZ Studio today? It has been broken for a long time but the option is available. It is not clear whether this is intended or known.
