Render specific frames

[Sierra62]

Hey guys, is there a way to have a mantra node render specific frames?  for example render frames 33, 59, 87, etc.   I often end up with some dropped frames in my renders and I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to do it than just sending them off individually?

 

cheers.

Hey Cody,

Not sure if it's the best way do to it, but I've been using hrender in a for-loop as a shell script. 

So say I have a file that's missing frame 1, 2 and 3, I do the following:

 

for i in 1 2 3

do

   hrender -e -f $i $i -d mantra1 -v render.hip

done

 

That does the trick:)

 

I attached a little script I made.

Thanks, I will give it a try.   Anything should be better than sending them off one a time.
