does anyone know the flags that go with these?

changeResolution and changeImageFormat


I want to put them at the beginning of a script so it sets it up for me, but apparently they're not in the help files...and when I do the echo all commands in the script editor it just says "changeResolution" etc...

I think you need to change attributes on the defaultRenderGlobals node. I'm not near Maya at the moment so I can't test it.

check in the help under DG nodes (node and attribute reference in 4.0 help)
for the node called:
renderGlobals

to set or query you need to access the defaultRenderGlobals

e.g.:
start frame:
getAttr defaultRenderGloabals.startFrame

to get to settings like resolution, check the "related commands" at top
(in this case the node is called "resolution")

well I found the stuff....
but when I type in

setAttr defaultRenderGlobals.resolution w 720 h 486


it gives me an error saying that the resolution is locked and can't be modified...

resolution is not a part from default render globals (ja.. it is but not in that way...)

you have to check for the node (!) "resolution".. it is a node like "renderGlobals" are.


check this:

setAttr defaultResolution.width 720;
setAttr defaultResolution.height 486;

if you want to change resolution or even frame padding style you have to check for a lot of stuff to be sure all works..
