Hi Tim, Yes - changes to the project image output path apply at the project level (wherever the workspace.mel is). Not ideal for breaking out shots from a project, but you can do the following:
-Use the <Scene> token with backslashes in the render settings to create sub-folders (eg. <Scene>\<Scene>_<Render_Layer>_<Camera>) -Use the -rd flag on render.exe to force a render to any folder More details here: http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2013/en_us/index.html?url=files/Vari_Subfolders_and_names_of_rendered_images.htm,topicNumber=d30e612208 Hope that helps, Laurence Cymet ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Tim Crowson [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2014 10:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Setting render output paths in Maya So lemme get this straight... Maya's equivalent of XSI's 'Scene Output' path is actually stored at the project level? If I set this path using 'Change Primary Image Directory' and setting the Images output path, does this not get passed on to other scenes in the same project? Or is it changed strictly for the scene I'm in? -- Tim Crowson Lead CG Artist Magnetic Dreams, Inc. 2525 Lebanon Pike, Bldg C, Suite 101, Nashville, TN 37214 Ph 615.885.6801 | Fax 615.889.4768 | www.magneticdreams.com<http://www.magneticdreams.com> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Confidentiality Notice: This email, including attachments, is confidential and should not be used by anyone who is not the original intended recipient(s).
