Scripting: Output Shader Presets

Output Shader Presets

List of available Output Shader presets. Output shaders operate on images after they are rendered but before they are written to a file. They can perform operations such as filtering, blurring, compositing with other files, and writing to different file formats.

Note	See Shader Presets for a list of different shader preset types. Also see Alphabetical Listing of All Shader Presets for a complete list of available shaders.

ConnectOutputShader Example

function ConnectOutputShader( in_preset )
{
        NewScene( null, false );
        Application.ActiveSceneRoot.AddGeometry("Cylinder", "MeshSurface");
        var obj = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.PassContainer.AddPass("Pass", "MyTestPass");
        var oShader = SIApplyShaderToCnxPoint(in_preset, "Passes.MyTestPass.OutputShaderStack", null, false);
        if (!oShader) { return null; }
        return (oShader.Type == "XSICollection") ? oShader(0) : oShader;
}

ConnectOutputShader2 Example

function ConnectOutputShader2( in_preset )
{
        NewScene( null, false );
        var obj = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.PassContainer.AddPass( "Pass", "MyTestNode" );
        SIApplyShaderToCnxPoint(in_preset, "Passes.MyTestNode.OutputShaderStack", null, false);
        var oShaderColl = obj.GetAllShaders();
        return (Application.ClassName(oShaderColl) == "ShaderCollection") 
                ? oShaderColl(0) : oShaderColl;
