Hi,
I recently came across 2 questions which I would like to ask the community:

1. In my last scene I had several render outputs (mantra) and just connected them to render them in queue. Some of them started on frame 0, some of them at frame 100. I noticed that the last node determines which frames will be rendered. For example: if my last rop start at frame 100, all other rops start at frame 100 aswell. And the other way round: last rop from 0 to end, but previous rops from frame 100 to end, I end up rendering all rops from 0 to end.
I'm sure there are possibilities to connect rops and render only the full frame range where it's needed.

2. How can I place a model in the center the procedural way. I know there are these $CEX, $CEY, $CEZ expressions for the pivot/translate, but I always end up with the models in the very center. But I want the model to “sit” on the zero point, without getting the y-direction to be negative.

Thanks in advance

Second question, you could translate with -$CEX,-$YMIN,-$CEZ.

For 1), place a Batch ROP after each ROP and merge those batches together, then render the merge.

Thanks I'll try it
