Hey guys,
i need to render a sequence file.

So far, i can set an output directory and the file itself, e.g:

tmp_Path = getDir #temp
theName = "Sequence_Test_"
Prefix = ".tif"

rendSaveFile = true
rendOutputFileName = (tmp_Path + "\\" + theName + Prefix)


But i donīt know how to script the TIF properties i need (TIF Image Control Dialog), e.g
- 16-bit Color
- Store Alpha Channel
- DPI 350.0


any tip would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Look up the TIF Interfaces in the Maxscript Help (BMP, JPEG, EXR, PNG, RLA, RPF, TGA, and TIF have bitmap interfaces). These interfaces will allow you to get/set most of the properties. This should set your desired settings.tif.setType #color16
tif.setAlpha #true
tif.SetDPI 350.0-Eric
