[Closed] rendSaveFile and TIF questions

Feb 11, 2010 3:07 pm

Hey guys,
i need to render a sequence file.

So far, i can set an output directory and the file itself, e.g:


 tmp_Path = getDir #temp
  theName = "Sequence_Test_"
  Prefix = ".tif"
 
  rendSaveFile = true
 rendOutputFileName = (tmp_Path + "\\" + theName + Prefix)

But i don´t know how to script the TIF properties i need (TIF Image Control Dialog), e.g

16-bit Color
Store Alpha Channel
DPI 350.0

any tip would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Look up the TIF Interfaces in the Maxscript Help (BMP, JPEG, EXR, PNG, RLA, RPF, TGA, and TIF have bitmap interfaces). These interfaces will allow you to get/set most of the properties. This should set your desired settings.

tif.setType #color16
 tif.setAlpha #true
 tif.SetDPI 350.0
