[Closed] Vray rendering file formats via Maxscript

Argh! I’m so confused with the whole bitmap creation/rendering paradigm of Maxscript :banghead:

I’m basically just trying to get my render elements out of Vray as 16-bit tifs via the following test code. The “Testfile.tif” is created via the script and is 16-bit but everything that renders through Backburner is still 8-bit. If anyone give me a hand here, I’d really appreciate it.

(
	SavePath = "C:\\Test"
	Filename = SavePath+"\\Testfile.tif"
	BackburnerManager = "Server03"
	
	tif.itifio.setAlpha #true
	tif.itifio.setType #color16
	tif.itifio.setCompression #packbits
	TempBitmap = Bitmap 1024 512 filename:Filename
	save TempBitmap
	close TempBitmap
		
	vr=renderers.current
	vr.output_on = true
	vr.output_splitgbuffer=true
	vr.output_splitfilename=TempBitmap.filename
		
		
	-- BACKBURNER
	m = NetRender.GetManager()
	m.connect #manual BackburnerManager		
	allServers = m.getservers()
			
	job = m.newJob()
	jobname = getFilenameFile (maxFileName)
	job.name = jobname
	job.suspended = false
	job.fromFrame = 1
	job.toFrame = 1
	job.nthframe = 1
	job.outputWidth = 1024
	job.outputHeight = 512
	job.submit Servers:allServers
