Actually Kim, I am frantically searching through all three
PPG's and the Render Manager to try and make sure all passes render with the
setings I want and wind up in each their output folder - the latter seems the
most difficult now. This is of course because it is the first time I really
use these PPG's i 6.x and I am in a big hurry because of looming deadlines. I
am sure Kris is right I will get the hang of it and eventually appreciate the
improved functionality but I still think there is some merit in having PPG's
for stuff like this that I can grasp the second time I look at them, and in
this implementation that is not the case.
Hi Morten ,
will you need to create these
folders? If so try this piece of script:
dim scn, vers
scn =
"scenename" 'Scene Name
vers = "1a" 'Scene/Render Version
Dim
FSO
Set FSO =
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FSO.CreateFolder("M:\finals\"&scn)
FSO.CreateFolder("M:\finals\"&scn&"\shadows")
FSO.CreateFolder("M:\finals\"&scn&"\reflections")
FSO.CreateFolder("M:\finals\"&scn&"\reflection_matte")
Adjust
the path names to your needs...
And then use this piece set them
filenames and paths all at once:
SetValue
"Passes.Default_Pass.Main.Filename",
"finals\"&scn&"\"&scn&"_beauty_f"&vers&".####.tif"
SetValue
"Passes.Shadow.Main.Filename",
"finals\"&scn&"\shadows\"&scn&"_shadow_f"&vers&".####.tif"
SetValue
"Passes.Reflection.Main.Filename",
"finals\"&scn&"\reflections\"&scn&"_reflection_f"&vers&".####.tif"
SetValue
"Passes.Reflection_Matte.Main.Filename",
"finals\"&scn&"\reflection_matte\"&scn&"_reflection_matte_f"&vers&".####.tif"
