      Hi,

      AFAIK, it is not possible to change the camera selection after adding it to the render queue.
      So you have to do the following through script:

      1. Change to Camera A
      2. Save Document
      3. Add to Render Queue
      4. Change to Camera B
      5. Save Document
      6. Add to Render Queue
        etc etc

      It works but the setback is on saving document. I have a 1GB ish document file and it takes a lot of time to save the document and doing it everytime I want to add a camera to queue (through scripting) is just painful.

      Is there away to just expose that camera parameter on render queue dialogue? So I don't have to save every document for every camera.

      Regards,
      Ben

            Hi not for the moment, this would be documented in the changelog and I would have bump this topic.
            However, FYI I had a look yesterday at it and looks straightforward to implement, however due to limited resources I can't tell you when this addition will occurs but this is on our radar.

            Cheers,
            Maxime.
