Detailed Description

Data container for common rendering settings.

This class is a container that encapsulates the data for common rendering globals. The data is intended to be accessed using the following method:

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum MpathType

Defines the types file paths.

Enumerator
kRelativePath 

Relative to the project.

kFullPathImage 

Full path.

kFullPathTmp 

Full path in the temporary directory.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OPENMAYA_MAJOR_NAMESPACE_OPEN MCommonRenderSettingsData ( )

Default contructor.

Initializes an empty object.

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]passThe 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]fieldThe 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]pathTypedecides file path format of the returned string. See above.
[in]frameNumberthe frame number to be used.
[in]sceneNamethe scene name.
[in]cameraNamethe name of the camera rendering this image.
[in]fileFormatif not an empty string, use this file format instead of the one selected in the render settings to decide the final file name.
[in]layerrender layer object from which this image is rendered.
[in]createDirectoryif true, the image path directory will be created.
[out]ReturnStatusStatus 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]pathTypedecides file path format of the returned string. See above.
[in]frameNumberthe frame number to be used.
[in]sceneNamethe scene name.
[in]cameraNamethe name of the camera rendering this image.
[in]fileFormatif not an empty string, use this file format instead of the one selected in the render settings to decide the final file name.
[in]layerrender layer object from which this image is rendered.
[in]customTokenStringspace separated list of key-value pairs to replace in the image name (ex. "myToken1=myValue1 myToken2=myValue2")
[in]createDirectoryif true, the image path directory will be created.
[out]ReturnStatusStatus code
Returns
The image path as a string.
bool shouldRenderFrameAtTime ( MpathType  pathType,
double  frameNumber,
const MString sceneName,
const MString cameraName,
const MString fileFormat,
const MObject  layer,
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]pathTypedecides file path format of the returned string. See above.
[in]frameNumberthe frame number to be used.
[in]sceneNamethe scene name.
[in]cameraNamethe name of the camera rendering this image.
[in]fileFormatif not an empty string, use this file format instead of the one selected in the render settings to decide the final file name.
[in]layerrender layer object from which this image is rendered.
[in]customTokenStringspace 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]renderPassRender pass object of the this rendering image.
[in]layerrender layer object pointer from which this image is rendered.
[in]cameraNameThe name of the camera rendering this image.
[in]customTokenStringSpace separated list of key-value pairs to replace in the buffer name (ex. "myToken1=myValue1 myToken2=myValue2").
[in]leaveUnmatchedTokenswhether to leave the unmatched tokens.
[out]ReturnStatusStatus 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.

This only affects the image names.
