mel script to render laaarge files

[webster]

If the output-format is too big for Maya, you´ll have to rendered tiles. This means that you subdived your picture into 4,8,16,... pieces and put them together in Photoshop.

You´ll need a very little batch render script:
press F1, rendering utility, render, batch render flags OR Render tiles



xResolution
-x <int>
set X resolution of the final image

yResolution
-y <int>
set Y resolution of the final image

xLeft
-xl <int>
set X sub-region left pixel boundary of the final image

xRight
-xr <int>
set X sub-region right pixel boundary of the final image

yLow
-yl <int>
set Y sub-region low pixel boundary of the final image

yHigh
-yh <int>
set Y sub-region high pixel boundary of the final image

just a followup on websters tip:
be sure to render some extra overlapping pixels or you might end up with seams, since anti aliasing is different..
so to render 1000 lines, render 1-505 and 500-1000.
that will asure continuity in anti aliasing

Hi

I made a very simple script that lets you render your image
in 4 tiles and then you can assemble them together in photoshop or whatever.

It's under "rendering & shading" ..

the script is called "SubRegionRender"

here's the link

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have suggestions on
improvements.

regards Joel

the script didnt work for me but try this: (should also guide you if you want to change the cool script)
create a text-file and rename it to what you like eg render.bat the important thing is the bat extension.

in the file write somthing like :



render -y 5000 -x 5000 -reg 0 2500 0 2500 -im venstre_bund tost.mb
render -y 5000 -x 5000 -reg 2500 5000 0 2500 -im hojre_bund tost.mb
render -y 5000 -x 5000 -reg 0 2500 2500 5000 -im venstre_top tost.mb
render -y 5000 -x 5000 -reg 2500 5000 2500 5000 -im hojre_top tost.mb


this renders the file toast in 4 tiles the formular is resolution in x and y and then the regino (-reg) you want to render in the format left right bottom top, give them different names (-im =name you give them)

You can make as manny tiles as you please. i thnik 8000 is maya-soft limit pr tile, but im not sure if i remember right. :)

save the file in the scene-folder and double-click it.....
