TURTLE batch Rendering? (maya)

[vaniljus]

This is how it is done on a Linuxbox:

/usr/illuminatelabs/turtle2/bin/./TurtleForMaya65 -geometry /mnt/project/above/maya/scenes/above_scene1.mb -resolution 1920 1080

Sorry, I can't post how it is done on a winbox. But the command should look similar.

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for helping me out. Your input helped a lot, it moved me from a stand still, but i still can not achieve to render an animation. for those interested this is what i have so far.

make a BAT file with following contents:
@ECHO OFF
setlocal
set MAYA_LOCATION=%ILR_MAYA65_ROOT%
PATH=%ILR_MAYA65_ROOT%\bin
"C:/Program Files/Turtle for Maya/bin/TurtleForMaya65" -Geometry "path_of_your_file/your_file_name.mb"
endlocal
pause

but this renders only a single frame of the scene

- - - - - - - - - -

this is what i found in a selfgenerated BAT file by turtle. it was generated when rendering from maya, in turtle external renderer:
@ECHO OFF
setlocal
set MAYA_LOCATION=%ILR_MAYA65_ROOT%
PATH=%ILR_MAYA65_ROOT%\bin
"C:/Program Files/Turtle for Maya/bin/TurtleForMaya65" -Geometry "path_of_your_file/your_file_name.mb"
-Camera "camera1" -Resolution 800 600 -Frame 350 -Display on -ImageName "your_image_name" -ImageOutputPath "your_image_output_path" -ProjectPath "your(maya)_project_path"
endlocal
pause


so here you can see some more comands.
-"Frame" was the frame i was on when rendering from maya in turtle eternal.
-"Display on" will open the rendering display to view the rendering progress
- "ImageName", "ImageOutputPath", "ProjectPath" were taken automaticaly from renderGlobals and Maya

- - - - - - - - - -

i will post as i go along, if i get any results.

Thanks again to Jonas, and anyone else that might help

I found this in the manual:

TurtleForMaya50 -geometry render.mb –resolution 320 240 -startFrame 1 -frameStep 1 -endFrame 120 -ImageOutputPath "C:/renders/images/" -projectPath "C:/maya projects/projects/default/"

Download the manual for all of the switches

THANKS JONAS!

u the man :)

for anyone else interested this is contents of the BAT file to execute batch rendering with turtle:

@echo off
setlocal
set MAYA_LOCATION=%ILR_MAYA65_ROOT%
PATH=%ILR_MAYA65_ROOT%\bin
C:\Progra~1\Turtle~1\bin\TurtleForMaya65 -geometry "path_of_your_file/your_file_name.mb" -Camera "camera1" -startFrame 351 -frameStep 1 -endFrame 354 -ImageOutputPath "your_image_output_path" -ProjectPath "your(maya)_project_path"
endlocal
pause

>This has rendered image sequence of frames 351 to 354, with filenames and extension as defined in renderGlobal settings. In resolution defined in renderGlobals



it can also be done like this (difference is in the[[[C:\Progra~1\Turtle~1\bin\TurtleForMaya65]]] line):

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

@ECHO OFF
setlocal
set MAYA_LOCATION=%ILR_MAYA65_ROOT%
PATH=%ILR_MAYA65_ROOT%\bin
"C:/Program Files/Turtle for Maya/bin/TurtleForMaya65" -geometry "path_of_your_file/your_file_name.mb" -Camera "camera1" -startFrame 351 -frameStep 1 -endFrame 354 -ImageOutputPath "your_image_output_path" -ProjectPath "your(maya)_project_path"
endlocal
pause
