Scene File Directory – Uses the directory containing the currently open. Global TMP directory – Uses the default temp folder of the OS. This format is fastest and produces the smallest files.ĭirectory – Specifies the directory where the render is saved. Slower than ZIP, and faster than Plain Text. Please note that this format slows down exports considerably and produces larger files. When disabled, all interface items are listed one after the other in one single rollout.įormat – Selects the format of the exported. Group Render Panels – When enabled, displays the interface in separate Render/Globals/GI/Sampler/System tabs. Show VFB in Batch – Shows the VFB when batch rendering.įrame Stamp – Turns the VFB frame stamp on and off.Ĭlose On Stop – When enbaled, the VFB automatically closes after the render finishes. Show VFB – When enabled, the VFB opens up upon rendering. Mapping – Selects the type of mapping that is exported for unmapped textures.Ĭhannel – Exports UVWGenChannel for unmapped textures Box – Exports UVWGenProjection for unmapped textures Object – Exports UVWGenObject for unpammed textures This reduces the size of the e xported file, as well as the export time.Ĭalculate instancer velocity – Used to calculate the particles velocity when using motion blur.ĭef. Subsurf To OpenSubdiv – When enabled, objects with Subdivision Surface modifiers are exported as non-modified (non-subdivided) and are subdivided using OpenSubdiv at render time instead. vrscene and rendered out on Linux, while maintaining an unchanged HydraGen submission process from the perspective of the artist.Īnyhow, full automation is all done now, so we have a seamless process where our 3dsmax/V-Ray and HydraGen jobs no longer require Windows to render.Type – Selects the back-end renderer that is used to export and render the scene.Įxport Smoke – Enables the export of smoke.Įxport Hair – Enables the export of hair. What made this solution a bit more challenging than a straight HydraGen implementation is that I am forcing any 3dsmax submission to be converted to a. While working on it, the closest analogy I could think of was blindfolded spelunking, or wrestling a tiger covered in thorns. There were other areas where I had to map HydraGen attributes to what the V-Ray standalone plugin wanted to deal with natively, but that’s all sorted now. Yes, discovering the image coordinates were vertically flipped was a pain, but once I understood that to be the reason my assembled images were blank, it was fairly simple to adjust for.

I actually just finished a complete end-to-end solution that covers off the entire pipeline.
