Dupe Render - Automatic dupe frame detection in animation

Hi guys, here is the first release of Dupe Render (v0.1.0) still in a beta state, but already pretty stable.

The addon uses a hash system to detect identical frames in your scene, and skip them in animation render through handler and builtin skip frame logic of blender (placeholders). It saves a lot of time on long animation rendering, and a lot of manual settings if you want to do this by hand.

Still a few known issue, like no detection of animation in nodegroups/compositing… But works for most cases ! It does not take into account the “on-frame, off-frame” on camera state of the object, I didn’t find a good solution for now for this. If anyone here have some hints, please share ;)

Hope this could be useful for some people ! cheers !

Does it output images for the skipped frames?

If what Process Dupe Render does is to find the duplicate frames, I think it would be better if it was titled Find Duplicate Frames .

Yes it outputs images when you launch the render, but you have to processs dupes before for it to work

Edlt : got it, you re right about the name of the operator
