Synopsis

ogsRender([activeMultisampleType=string], [activeRenderOverride=string], [activeRenderTargetFormat=string], [availableFloatingPointTargetFormat=boolean], [availableMultisampleType=boolean], [availableRenderOverrides=boolean], [camera=string], [currentFrame=boolean], [currentView=boolean], [enableFloatingPointRenderTarget=boolean], [enableMultisample=boolean], [frame=float], [height=uint], [layer=name], [noRenderView=boolean], [width=uint])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

ogsRender is NOT undoable, queryable, and editable.

Renders an image or a sequence using the OGS rendering engine

Return value

boolean

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Keywords

ogs, offline, rendering

Flags

activeMultisampleType, activeRenderOverride, activeRenderTargetFormat, availableFloatingPointTargetFormat, availableMultisampleType, availableRenderOverrides, camera, currentFrame, currentView, enableFloatingPointRenderTarget, enableMultisample, frame, height, layer, noRenderView, width
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
width(w) uint createqueryedit
The width flag pass the width to the ogsRender command. If not used, the width is taken from the render globals settings.
height(h) uint createqueryedit
The height flag pass the height to the ogsRender command. If not used, the height is taken from the render globals settings.
camera(cam) string createqueryedit
Specify the camera to use. Use the first available camera if the camera given is not found.
currentView(cv) boolean createqueryedit
When turned on, only the current view will be rendered.
layer(l) name createqueryedit
Render the specified render layer. Only this render layer will be rendered, regardless of the renderable attribute value of the render layer. The layer name will be appended to the output image file name. The specified render layer becomes the current render layer before rendering, and remains as current render layer after the rendering.
noRenderView(nrv) boolean createqueryedit
When turned on, the render view is not updated after image computation
frame(f) float createedit
Specify the frame to render.
currentFrame(cf) boolean createqueryedit
Render the current frame.
availableRenderOverrides(aro) boolean queryedit
Returns the names of available render overrides.
activeRenderOverride(cro) string queryedit
Set or query the current active render override.
enableMultisample(ems) boolean queryedit
Enable/disable multisample.
availableMultisampleType(amt) boolean queryedit
Returns the names of available multisample type.
activeMultisampleType(mst) string queryedit
Query the current active multisample type.
enableFloatingPointRenderTarget(efp) boolean queryedit
Enable/disable floating point render target.
availableFloatingPointTargetFormat(afp) boolean queryedit
Returns the names of available floating point render target format.
activeRenderTargetFormat(fpt) string queryedit
Query the current active floating point target format.

cmds.polySphere()
# Render it
# It will try to save the image with format according
# to the file name saved in render globals.
cmds.ogsRender(w=480,h=270)
