Member Enumeration Documentation

enum MpathType

Defines the types file paths.

Enumerator

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OPENMAYA_MAJOR_NAMESPACE_OPEN MCommonRenderSettingsData ( )

Default contructor.

Initializes an empty object.

~MCommonRenderSettingsData ( )

Destructor.

Deallocates the memory.

Member Function Documentation

bool isAnimated ( ) const

Determines if there is animation.

Returns: true if the naming scheme corresponds to an animation

bool isMovieFormat ( ) const

Determines if the output format is a single movie file.

Returns: true if images will be stored in a single movie file.

void setPassName ( const MString & pass )

Used with getImageName. Sets the pass name for later use.

Adds a pass subdirectory to the path for the image.

Parameters

[in] pass The name of the field.

void setFieldName ( const MString & field )

Used with getImageName. Sets the field name for later use.

Adds a field subdirectory to the path for the image.

Parameters

[in] field The name of the field.

const MString getImageName	(	MpathType	pathType,
		double	frameNumber,
		const MString &	sceneName,
		const MString &	cameraName,
		const MString &	fileFormat,
		const MObject	layer,
		const bool	createDirectory = `true`,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)		const

Obtains the image name with the proper subdirectory structure.

Compute the path for the image.

The path type returned depends on which option has been specified by pathType:

kRelativePath returns the image name with its relative path (only the extra subdirs created within the base image dir)
kFullPathImage returns the image full path with its path to the image dir
kFullPathTmp returns the image full path with its path to the temp image dir

Parameters

[in]	pathType	decides file path format of the returned string. See above.
[in]	frameNumber	the frame number to be used.
[in]	sceneName	the scene name.
[in]	cameraName	the name of the camera rendering this image.
[in]	fileFormat	if not an empty string, use this file format instead of the one selected in the render settings to decide the final file name.
[in]	layer	render layer object from which this image is rendered.
[in]	createDirectory	if true, the image path directory will be created.
[out]	ReturnStatus	Status code

Returns: The image path as a string.

const MString getImageName	(	MpathType	pathType,
		double	frameNumber,
		const MString &	sceneName,
		const MString &	cameraName,
		const MString &	fileFormat,
		const MObject	layer,
		const MString &	customTokenString,
		const bool	createDirectory = `true`,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)		const

Obtains the image name with the proper subdirectory structure (supports custom tokens).

Compute the path for the image.

The path type returned depends on which option has been specified by pathType:

kRelativePath returns the image name with its relative path (only the extra subdirs created within the base image dir)
kFullPathImage returns the image full path with its path to the image dir
kFullPathTmp returns the image full path with its path to the temp image dir

Parameters

[in]	createDirectory	if true, the image path directory will be created.
[out]	ReturnStatus	Status code

Returns: The image path as a string.

bool shouldRenderFrameAtTime	(	MpathType	pathType,

		const MString &	customTokenString
	)		const

Indicates whether render the frame or not. If true, render it. If false, skip it.

Determine whether to render the frame or not by comparing image file name.

If file already exists, skip rendering it. If not, render the frame.

Parameters

[in]	pathType	decides file path format of the returned string. See above.
[in]	frameNumber	the frame number to be used.
[in]	sceneName	the scene name.
[in]	cameraName	the name of the camera rendering this image.
[in]	fileFormat	if not an empty string, use this file format instead of the one selected in the render settings to decide the final file name.
[in]	layer	render layer object from which this image is rendered.
[in]	customTokenString	space separated list of key-value pairs to replace in the image name (ex. "myToken1=myValue1 myToken2=myValue2")

Returns: Whether to render the frame or not. If true, render it. If false, skip it.

const MString getBufferName	(	const MObject &	renderPass,
		const MObject &	layer,
		const MString &	cameraName,
		const MString &	customTokenString = `""`,
		const bool	leaveUnmatchedTokens = `false`,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)		const

Get image buffer name.

This name will be used when multiple buffers are rendered into the same image. This is only valid for image formats which support multiple buffers, such as OpenEXR.

Parameters

[in]	renderPass	Render pass object of the this rendering image.
[in]	layer	render layer object pointer from which this image is rendered.
[in]	cameraName	The name of the camera rendering this image.
[in]	customTokenString	Space separated list of key-value pairs to replace in the buffer name (ex. "myToken1=myValue1 myToken2=myValue2").
[in]	leaveUnmatchedTokens	whether to leave the unmatched tokens.
[out]	ReturnStatus	Status code.

Returns: The name of buffer as a string.

MString getPreRenderFrameCmd ( )

static

Return the preRenderFrame MEL command, which is run immediately before rendering a frame.

It is run before the configurable preRenderMel string. This command is guaranteed to be a non-empty string.

Returns: The preRenderFrame command string.

MString getPostRenderFrameCmd ( )

static

Return the postRenderFrame MEL command, which is run immediately after rendering a frame.

It is run after the configurable postRenderMel string. This command is guaranteed to be a non-empty string.

Returns: The postRenderFrame command string.

const char * className ( )

static

Returns the name of this class.

Returns: The name of this class.
