Render Settings Window

[Chi Ngai Lai]

Hi,

May I know how to use Maya Python to access/modify All the tabs, options, checkboxes (ie, Enable Color Management), and attributes inside the Maya Render Settings Window, it seems quite tricky to do this, I hope you could help me or share some learning resources for these stuffs, thank you very much in advanced.

Cheers,
Parker

Leave script editor open with echo all commands and see what it does when you change the values. It spits out the commands it is performing.

At least that's how I managed to script vray render settings.

I tried in this way, but most of the actions or the "commands" shown in the script editor are not the exact ones you could use while scripting.

For example, "Enable Color Management" checkbox doesn't be reflected correctly in the script editor while "echo all commands" is activated, so anyone could help? Thank you so much.

Enable Color Management is controlled by createMayaSoftwareCommonGlobalsTab.mel. You can check this with whatIs mel command. If you enable color management checkbox you will see "changeColorProfileEnabled" in script editor. In script mentioned above you can find attributes that need to be changed to set input or output color profile. You need to set defaultRenderGlobals.outputColorProfle or inputColorProfile depending on your needs.

Hi Marcin,

I appreciate your helpful tips.

I was wondering, are there all the attributes inside the Render Settings Panel could be found in this  createMayaSoftwareCommonGlobalsTab.mel ? 

Once again thank you for your help.

These attributes can be found in defaultRenderGlobals node attributes. Script is only used to set this attributes. You can list node attribures using listAttr command. Type listAttr defautRenderGlobals and you will see all availabe attributes.
