pymel.core.rendering.makebot

makebot(*args, **kwargs)

The makebot command takes an image file and produces a block ordered texture (BOT) file, to be used for texture caching. If a relative pathname is specified for the input image file, project management rules apply. If a relative pathname is specified for the output BOT file, project management rules apply and gets put into the sourceImages directory.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
checkdepends (c)		bool
	the BOT file should only be generated if it doesn’t already exists, or if it is older than the source file
checkres (r)		int
	the BOT file should only be generated if its resolution (maximum of width and height) is larger than the minimum value specified by the argument
input (i)		unicode
	input image file
nooverwrite (nov)		bool
	If -c and/or -r indicate that the BOT file should be generated but if already exists, then this flag will prevent the file from being overwritten
output (o)		unicode
	output BOT file
verbose (v)		bool
	Makebot will provide feedback if this flag is specified Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.makebot

Example:
