[Closed] Save File with EXR Configuration via Dialog

Have you tried looking at the OpenEXR Interface in the Maxscript help? Check the online reference here for more information on the OpenEXR format.

Yes I cheked that, but it has no GUI right? Furthermore you are not able to get the EXR Configs of all Elements, just the beauty. Or am I missing something?

I also tried to set the values of the main render (beauty)
for instance I tried to add some elements with:

MaxPlus.Core.EvalMAXScript("fopenexr.addGBufferChannelLayer 6 \"Coverage\" 2 2")

Didn’t work, the added G-Buffer Element is not appearing in the EXR Config. The Dialog is closed while adding.

Thanks!

If the render dialog is open you will probably need to update the Render Scene Dialog. A search for “EXR” in this section of the forum returns this thread/post. Give that a shot.

As I wrote, the Dialog is closed while doing all the stuff. So Ishould not have to update the dialog I think.

Thanks

So I managed to set all the data via maxscript and the following code:

            a="""
            objRmgr = maxOps.GetCurRenderElementMgr()
            i = %d-1
            elemI = objRmgr.getRenderElement i
            sElem = objRmgr.getRenderElementFilename i
            sElemPath = getFilenamePath sElem
            sElemNew = sElemPath + (i as string) + "_DELETEME" + ".exr"
            bmTemp = bitmap 1 1 filename:sElemNew gamma:1.0
            save bmTemp
            elemI.bitmap = bmTemp
            objRmgr.SetRenderElementFilename i sElem
            close bmTemp
            deleteFile sElemNew
            """ % self._index
            eval_maxscript(a)

now I wonder how to read the data for every Layer. Exactly I try to show a checkbox that shows if the specific alement has GBuffer and/or velocity.

The following code is not element specific. It gives the same return value for each layer.

        count=eval_maxscript("fopenexr.NumLayers()")
        for i in range(count):
            print eval_maxscript("fopenexr.getLayerType %d" % i)
            print eval_maxscript("fopenexr.getLayerName %d" % i)
