animation output format

[prodviz]

Hi all,

in the 'Render Animation' window the output only allows for the .png file type.

Is there a way of changing this to .exr? (as available when rendering still images)

cheers,

Steve

yep, change this octane.render.saveImage(thisFile, octane.render.imageType.PNG8) (line 469) to this octane.render.saveImage(thisFile, octane.render.imageType.EXR).

We should have it configurable but we haven't got around it yet.

cheers,
Thomas

Sorry, where do I change the line?

you will have to modify the LUA script through Octane's interface.

Modified the script, then ran.

The dialogue box still comes up with .png. and continues to render the .png file type.

And I can't open these rendered files.

Changed these lines too:

567
330
348

Now working sweet.

Cheers.

The exr's are rendering out a bit darker than the .png's.

Don't think it's a gamma issue. Looks more like an under exposed issue.
