For
information on the file name syntax, see
Subfolders and names of rendered images.
NoteYou can also set
the file name of rendered files when you render from a shell or
command line, using
Render and the
-im option.
See
Render from a command line for
information about command line rendering.
To set the file name (syntax) for rendered
images
- In the File Output section
of the
Render Settings window,
set the following:
- File name prefix, (for example, rocket):
| Option |
Example |
| name |
rocket |
| name.ext |
rocket.iff |
| name.#.ext |
rocket.1.iff |
| name.ext.# |
rocket.iff.1 |
| name.# |

| name#.ext |
rocket1.iff |
Important
- If you select an option that does
not contain #,
Maya renders a single frame.
- If you select an option that does
contain #, Maya renders
an image sequence (animation). The top of the
Render Settings window provides feedback
for the output files.
- Frame/Animation
Ext to the combination and order of base name (name).
- File format extension (ext).
- Frame number extension (#) you want rendered
files to have.
- Start Frame to
the first frame you want to render and End Frame to
the last frame you want to render.
- By
Frame to the increment between frames you want to render.
- Frame Padding to
the number of digits you want in frame number extensions.
To use a custom file format extension
for rendered images
- The
file format extension is the standard file format extension for
the current Image Format setting. To change
that, in the File Output section of the
Render Settings window,
turn on Use Custom Extension and type
the extension you want to use.
