v7.0

Exports a sequence of frames from the specified passes, or the current pass if none specified. The render archive can subsequently then be used by a standalone version of the rendering engine that exported it.

This command can optionally accept a start frame and an end frame to render to override the pass settings. If no start frame or end frame is provided the command uses the default settings from the pass (which can be either a sequence or a set of frames).

ExportObjectRenderArchive( [InputObj], FileName, [StartFrame], [EndFrame], [StepFrame], [MultiFrame], [DisplayProxy] );

Parameter	Type	Description
InputObj	String	Passes to export Default Value: Current pass
FileName	String	File to save.
StartFrame	Number	Start frame for the export Default Value: Pass Settings
EndFrame	Number	End frame for the export Default Value: Pass Settings
StepFrame	Number	Frame step increment for the export Default Value: Pass Settings
MultiFrame	Boolean	True to embed all frames into a single archive file Default Value: False
DisplayProxy	Boolean	True to display proxy Default Value: True

'	This example creates a cone with some animation on it and then

'	uses the default pass to export out every other frame.

' Create a new scene with only 6 frames

SetValue "PlayControl.Out", 6

' Add a cone with some animation

Set oCone = CreatePrim( "Cone", "MeshSurface" )

	& oCone & ".kine.local.posz", _

SetValue "PlayControl.Key", 6

SetValue "PlayControl.Current", 6
