Render to layered EXR from V-Ray standalone

[simon_lundberg]

Topic says it all, more or less.

I want to render to layered EXR files instead of one image per render element, from V-Ray standalone. But how the heck do I do that? If I explicitly set a raw image path when exporting the .vrscene it works, but can I override that from the standalone command?

We have always just did it with specifying the output file in the vrscene. I think deadline re-writes the vrscene (a text file) to do it. This can be slow, though, if the file is large… at least the way they do it.

You could try text processing on the file itself (sed, rpl, or the like).

You might try the remapPath option. Not sure if this applies to the output.
