OctaneRender for Modo SCRIPTS

[rubberchicken]

The render passes script works great. A couple of questions:
-Could this be implemented in the plugin?
-Can you add a user input for file save location and file type instead of hard coding?

Hi.

> Could this be implemented in the plugin?

It could, although I tend to think it's a script that each user will tweak to meet their specific needs, so I think it's better as something that is run separately. You can add a button to run this script to the OctaneRender layout if you need.

Try this!

Code removed - please see viewtopic.php?f=34&t=78755&p=421892#p421892 for latest version.

Thanks

Sorry I forgot to subscribe to the topic! This works great except it is splitting the name I enter, putting the last character after the pass name. So my entered file name is "Test", my pass is "Colour". What I end up with is "Tes_Colourt.png". I feel this must be an easy fix but I cannot read python. I will make a button for this. I use passes a great deal and this is hugely useful.

I couldn't actually reproduce this error. What is the full path that you are saving to please?

Just to the desktop, not strange paths. Also tried to a couple of other locations.

My bad, the original script works fine. I was not typing in the file suffix as I thought this was being picked up from octane. Thanks again!

The problem with this method (as with other like create a workspace - was lookign for something similar as usually i have tons of other assemblies and such- for octane materials etc) is that then one cannot easily move/copy node to the other via schematic context commands as those assemblies/workspaces for materials are no longer visible.

I'll be still looking for some way to make scene tidy so if i will find something will share
Cheers,

Thanks - I will remove my potential fix above to avoid confusion.

Render passes are ignoring pass visibility. Using Modo native or Vray it is extremely useful to be able to toggle off a pass using the little camera icon in the groups panel. Say you have a dozen passes but three of them you do not need to run, it can save a lot of wasted time. When I run the script for Octane it renders all passes ignoring that state.
