renderLayer

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

Objects can be grouped together and have their render controlled by a single renderLayer node. The attributes of this node are parameters to the drawing of objects that are connected to it as members.

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
global (g)	bool	false
If set every object in the scene is visible at render time. There DAG objects connected to the renderInfo attribute will be ignored.
renderInfo (ri)	compound	n/a
Parent attribute encapsulating per-object render layer information. When objects are added to the layer a connection will be made from this attribute to the object.
identification (rlid) short 0 Render layer identification number
renderable (rndr) bool true Is this render layer visible when rendered?
drawColor (c) unsigned char 0 Color with which to draw
layerParent (rlp)	short	0
Parent render layers of this render layer. This attribute can only be connected to the layerChildren attribute of another renderLayer node.
layerChildren (rlc)	short	0
Child render layers contained within this render layer. Note that layer parenting is very restrictive: it should be thought of as "containing this layer within another layer". The rules regarding layer parenting require that no cycles are allowed, and no instancing within the same hierarchy is permitted. This attribute can only be connected from the layerParent attribute of another renderLayer node.
renderPassInfo (rp)	compound	n/a
Parent attribute encapsulating all render pass information
beauty (b) bool true Output everything to one file
color (cp) bool false Output color w/o shadows to file
ambient (am) bool false Output ambient pass info to file
diffuse (di) bool false Output diffuse pass info to file
specular (sp) bool false Output specular pass info to file
shadow (s) bool false Output shadow pass info to file
adjustments (adjs)	compound	n/a
Collection of attribute value and input connection adjustments to be applied when the layer is active.
plug (plg) Generic n/a Connection to plug that requires adjustment when the layer is active. This connection references a scene plug that is an adjustment to be made when the layer is active.
value (val) Generic n/a Value to be applied to the specified plug when the layer is active.
outAdjustments (oajs)	compound	n/a
Collection of output connection adjustments to be applied when the layer is active.
outPlug (opg) Generic n/a Connection to plug that requires adjustment when the layer is active. This connection references a scene plug that is an adjustment to be made when the layer is active.
outValue (ovl) Generic n/a Output connection to be applied to the reference output plug when the layer is active.
shadingGroupOverride (sgo)	Message	n/a
Connection to shading group to be applied to all members when the layer is active. The shading group assignment will be locked and new components cannot be created when the layer is active.
attributeOverrideScript (aos)	string	NULL
A space separated "attribute=value" description of the DAG member attributes to be overridden when the layer is active. The specified attributes will be locked and cannot be changed when the layer is active.
renderPass (rps)	Message	n/a
Connections to all render pass nodes associated with this layer
passContributionMap (pcm)	Message	n/a
Connections to all render pass contribution maps associated with this layer
imageRendered (ird)	bool	false
This attribute is used for interactive preview rendering only. Once the render layer is rendered in the render view, this attribute is set so that the user can recycle the image.
recycleImage (rci)	bool	false
This attribute is used for interactive preview rendering only. After the render layer is rendered in the render view, the user can set this attribute so that the image is reused for compositing instead of rerendered each time.
imageName (img)	string	TmultiSharedObject::create<TdataString>""
Stores the file name of the rendered image for recycling purpose.
displayOrder (do)	short	0
Display order number
psdBlendMode (bm)	short	0
PSD Blend Mode
psdAlphaChannel (ac)	short	0
PSD Alpha Channel
precompTemplate (tpc)	string	TmultiSharedObject::create<TdataString>""
The file name of the Pre-Compositing template associated with this layer.
isDefaultPrecompTemplateOverride (idpo)	bool	true
whether use default precomp template
