How to pre-set the render output for Redshift and Mantra Aug. 2, 2017, 10:31 a.m.

Cheers.

For anyone else who may stumble upon this thread, here's how I did it:

output = "//server/my_special_location/$FILM`_`$SHOT`_`$VERSION`_`$OS.$AOV.$F6.exr"
for outNode in hou.node("/out").allSubChildren():
    ROPNode = outNode.type().name()
    if "Redshift_ROP" in str(ROPNode):
        ROPNodeName = "/out/" + str(outNode)
        hou.node(ROPNodeName).parm("RS_outputEnable").set(True)
        hou.node(ROPNodeName).parm("RS_outputFileNamePrefix").set(output)

How to pre-set the render output for Redshift and Mantra Aug. 1, 2017, 8:13 a.m.

Hi there,

I'm looking at having a little function in Houdini that pre populates the “Output Picture” for Mantra nodes and “Filename Prefix” for Redshift nodes (based on scene location).

…I'm essentially after a way to edit the paramaters using python..

Will Houdini allow me to do this? …anyone know?

Cheers

All done.

It was enough to get me started.
