Flow Render Turntable submits a turntable animation job to the Flow Render cloud service. Open the window from Arnold > Flow Render > Submit Turntable Job.

Job Name

A descriptive name for the turntable job as it appears in the Flow Render queue. Supports tokens such as $prj for the current project name.

Render Settings

Specifies the render settings to use for the turntable job. Defaults to the currently active render setting.

Take

Specifies the Cinema 4D take to use for the turntable render. Defaults to the currently active take.

Resolution

Specifies the output resolution. Defaults to the resolution defined in the active render settings.

Rotation Frames

Sets the total number of frames for one full 360-degree rotation of the turntable.

Frames Per Task

Sets the number of frames processed in each render task. This setting can improve rendering efficiency by reducing the overhead of starting a worker and loading the scene for each task. By default, each task renders 1 frame. If your frames render quickly, increasing this value (for example, 10 or more frames per task) can reduce overhead and improve overall rendering performance. If your frames take longer to render, the default value of 1 is typically recommended.

For example, rendering a 100 frame turntable with 10 frames per task produces 10 tasks that run in parallel on 10 Flow Render worker machines (10 being the maximum number of parallel tasks on Flow).

• Frames 0001 - 0010
• Frames 0011 - 0020
• Frames 0021 - 0030
• and so on up to frames 0091 - 0100

Camera Height

Sets the height of the turntable camera relative to the object's bounding box. Available presets are Top, Center, and Bottom.

Target Height

Sets the height of the camera's look-at target relative to the object's bounding box. Available presets are Top, Center, and Bottom.

Camera Zoom

Controls the zoom level of the turntable camera as a percentage. Higher values move the camera closer to the subject.

Animation Mode

Determines how the turntable animation is driven.

• Camera: Rotates the camera around the object.
• Object: Rotates the object.
• Light: Rotates the lights around the object.

Light Rig

Specifies the lighting setup to use for the turntable.

• Use Scene Lights: Uses the lights present in the scene.
• White Dome: Applies a white dome light.
• Two Quads: Applies a two-quad lighting setup.

Light Intensity

Scales the overall intensity of the light rig.

Studio Set

Applies a preset studio environment to the turntable render.

• None: Uses the scene environment.
• Pedestal: Applies a pedestal studio environment.
• Cyclo: Applies a cyclorama studio environment.

Background Color

When enabled, overrides the background with a solid color. Use the color swatch to set the color.

Download

Enable automatically downloading render outputs to the specified folder, assuming Cinema 4D is still running when the job is finished.

You can use some specific tokens in the path, besides the standard Cinema 4D tokens:

• $prjdir: The project root directory, where the .c4d project file is located.
• $prjsavedir: The project Save directory defined in the render settings.
• $prjmultipasssavedir: The project Multi-Pass Save directory defined in the render settings.

Advanced

Force Upload Missing Files

Forces re-upload of scene files, even if they were uploaded previously. Use this if the render fails due to missing assets, or when you suspect the local resource cache no longer reflects the true state of the server (for example, after working on a different machine or after a long time since the last submission).
