Batch Render can be directed to use the views and pre-recorded animation from both the current and other existing Rhino projects as well as .vrscene files. Named Views can also be added. They are created using Named Views > Save As... in the Rhino Named View panel.
Choose as many files, animation sequences or views as needed and select the Start button to begin the Batch Render.
Add current model – Adds all views of the current model to the Batch Render.
File – Chooses an existing Rhino project or V-Ray VRScene file.
Refresh – Refreshes the list to correspond with the recent changes in the listed files.
Start – Starts rendering the selected views and files.

Animation, default viewport views, cameras, snapshots and named views have different icons for easier differentiation.
.vrscene files can be loaded and rendered using Batch Render. Batch Render can also load a sequence of .vrscene files located in the same directory as long as they follow the same index enumeration, e.g. file_01.vrscene, file_02.vrscene, file_03.vrscene and NOT file_1.vrscene, file_02.vrscene, file3.vrscene, etc. When selecting a file that is part of a valid sequence, a dialog window prompts you to choose whether to load the whole sequence or the singe file. If a file sequence is available, the Batch Render tool does not apply an additional index to the render output files.
When aborting a Batch Render job, the current project's V-Ray render output file path is substituted by an invalid one. Upon finishing a Batch Render job, the last active project's output file path is substituted in the same way. This is a known limitation. To avoid it, initiate Batch Render jobs always in a new project and upon completion avoid saving the currently loaded one. Loaded .vrscene files are unaffected.
When the View option from Rendering tab of the Rhino Properties Panel is manually specified, it overrides the render output.
Snapshots are loaded in the Batch Render panel only by adding the current model. Refreshing the Batch Render list will remove the Snapshots.
