[Closed] render scene dialog – output size presets ?

A script I’ve been playing with recently has tackled this
eg

case rdoSize.state of
(
   1: [renderWidth = 1920, renderHeight = 1080]
   2: [renderWidth = 1280, renderHeight = 720]
   3: [renderWidth = 720, renderHeight = 576]
   4: [renderWidth = 240, renderHeight = 192]
)

I had to set each size as I didn’t find the presets. But that’s not to say it wasn’t there I
just gave up after finding “an” answer.
In the code above I placed it in radio buttons as I didn’t need a lot of settings, I just used pal and HD
Hope this helps
Good luck

thanks Luke,

I was thinking I may have to do something like this but seems a little strange there is no command with an integer switch for this(atleast I cant find it). It makes me wonder where max is calling this from.

thanks again for your suggestion,

Craig

It’s calling it from 3dsmax.ini

you can use standard setIniSetting command to change it:

[PresetOutputSize0]
PresetWidth=320
PresetHeight=240
PresetAspect=1.000000
[PresetOutputSize1]
PresetWidth=256
PresetHeight=243
PresetAspect=1.265625
[PresetOutputSize2]
PresetWidth=512
PresetHeight=486
PresetAspect=1.265625
[PresetOutputSize3]
PresetWidth=640
PresetHeight=480
PresetAspect=1.000000
[PresetOutputSize4]
PresetWidth=720
PresetHeight=486
PresetAspect=0.900000
[PresetOutputSize5]
PresetWidth=800
PresetHeight=600
PresetAspect=1.000000

this will return the 6 presets as point3 values consisting of width, height, and pixel aspect ratio.

fn getSizePresets =
(
	local f = getMAXIniFile()
	local headerStr = "PresetOutputSize"
	local presetWidthStr = "PresetWidth"
	local presetHeightStr = "PresetHeight"
	local presetAspectStr = "PresetAspect"
	local sizes = for i = 0 to 5 collect
	(
		local header = headerStr+(i as string)
		local width = getIniSetting f header presetWidthStr
		local height = getIniSetting f header presetHeightStr
		local aspect = getIniSetting f header presetAspectStr
		[width as integer,height as integer,aspect as float]
	)
)

Thanks lo
