pymel.core.rendering.makebot¶

makebot(*args, **kwargs)¶

The makebot command takes an image file and produces a block ordered texture (BOT) file, to be used for texture caching. If a relative pathname is specified for the input image file, project management rules apply. If a relative pathname is specified for the output BOT file, project management rules apply and gets put into the sourceImages directory.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
checkdepends / c		bool
	the BOT file should only be generated if it doesn’t already exists, or if it is older than the source file
checkres / r		int
	the BOT file should only be generated if its resolution (maximum of width and height) is larger than the minimum value specified by the argument
input / i		unicode
	input image file
nooverwrite / nov		bool
	If -c and/or -r indicate that the BOT file should be generated but if already exists, then this flag will prevent the file from being overwritten
output / o		unicode
	output BOT file
verbose / v		bool
	Makebot will provide feedback if this flag is specified Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.makebot

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.makebot( i='in_image', o='/usr/tmp/out_bot_file' )
